It is only by forgetting yourself that you draw near to God.
—Henry David Thoreau—
There is a spiritual presence which can aptly cushion our every fall, bringing comfort and subtle meaning to our lives. However, we’ll not feel this gentle comfort unless we attune ourselves to the others in our company. It’s within another’s soul that we sense the beacon of light which illuminates the way we’re traveling.
Broadening our vision so that we may see life from a stranger’s perspective heightens the clarity of our own, and sharing the view bonds us, deepens all meaning, and closes the gap that lies between.
We must think and dream beyond ourselves if we are ever to sense the vast network that includes us all. we can be certain there is a rhythm to the unfolding of the unfolding of our experiences; a symphony which knows its own end.
Today I’ll listen to the notes of others, and find the harmony with them.
