Secret Kinship With The Other

I fully believe that we are in kinship with each other. We are totally interrelated and interdependent. To me, our kinship is a secret only to whomever is unaware of it, perhaps avoiding or denying the fact. I discovered our human kinship through reading, discussion, reflection, and openness to learn. For many, kinship is discovered in coming together during a crisis. I now live with awareness that not only are we one but all creation is one, expressing in a zillion different forms, and that awareness results in my being much more compassionate toward all that is, living and not living. What I've said applies for me in easy and difficult relationships, and is more important for me to remind myself of in the difficult relationships.

So we are all about waking up from the unconscious dream state. That takes place, with the help of another, one at a time......a crisis can propel us further, but we need to stretch a hand out to someone just behind.

Amen and Amen. One body in Christ.
