Though we are each an ‘island’ – both unique and similar in the ways we express Life – we are all still connected on this planet through Spiritual and literal ‘oceans’. Our current reality is one in which [unnatural & harmful] division is consciously chosen over [natural & harmonious] unity. And this division is a reflection of the intolerance we may have towards ourselves and/or towards others. In order to be truly accepting of other’s differences we must acknowledge and accept our own uniqueness and difference. Because it will be that much easier to embrace the quirks of others if we can learn to accept and appreciate our own.
So instead of condemning, let us celebrate our own and each other’s differences. Let us share and exchange our unique and valuable gifts with one another for the benefit of All. And let us embrace, protect, and foster diversity of thought, form, and Being in order to create a global community that is resilient and resistant to increasing natural and human-induced catastrophic events.
