UNITY - the eighth Point of Simply An Inspired Life
I Am One With Spirit and All Creation
- I give thanks for the unity of all creation and for everything that has brought me to this moment. I release my entire being to the gentle nurture of Spirit. Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I will meet you there. - Rumi
As we light a path for others, we naturally light our own way. - mary anne radmacher
When the vast cathedral of our being becomes a sanctuary for all creation, we become the face of God. - jonathan lockwood huie
Feel Unity with Spirit and All Creation All things share the same breath the beast, the tree, the man... the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports. - Chief Seattle
When I see Spirit in Everything, Peace is at hand. UNITY ‐ we are all one ‐ the web of life.
You are never alone. Your Higher Power, whatever that means to you, is a constant support ‐ never hesitate to ask for guidance and blessing. Remember that Spirit knows better than you what is best for you, so ask for comfort and affluence rather than the affections of a particular person or a higher paying job. Whatever your circumstances, and however often you may have felt rejected, there are many people in this world who live in the tradition of the "Good Samaritan." When troubles weigh upon you, do not hesitate to find and rely upon these people ‐ they are far more numerous than you think.
Know Unity With Spirit: There are as many ways to connect with Spirit as there are people ‐ each of us has our own way to receive strength and serenity from the Infinite.
Your life will be happier if you acknowledge that you are not alone, become open to that presence, and create ritual to celebrate your connection. You may feel your bond with Spirit at the Lord's Supper, in Songs of Praise, in Calls to Prayer, in Meditation, while doing Yoga or Qigong, or while walking in the woods.
However you connect with Spirit, do it today.
My wish, today, for each of you is Joy, Honor, acceptance of diversity, and Unity with Spirit and All Creation. May your spirit soar throughout the vast cathedral of your being. May your mind whirl joyful cartwheels of creativity. May your heart sing sweet lullabies of timelessness.
Here is a story I came upon and decided to share with you. "One evening my mother made dinner after a hard day's work. She put a plate of eggs, salad and burnt toast in front of my father... I immediately noticed, the burnt toast.... And, I was waiting to see if he was going to complain about it, but my father started to eat them, smiling and asked me how I spent my day at school... My mom apologized to my dad for the burnt toast. I will never forget his response to her: "Honey, I love burnt toast!" Later when I went to bed and my dad came over to kiss me goodnight, I asked him if he really liked the burnt toast? He hugged me and said, "Your mother has had a difficult day and she is really tired. She went out of her way to prepare this meal for us, why blame her and hurt her. Burnt toast never hurt anyone; but words can be very painful!" We have to know how to appreciate what others do for us, even if it's not perfect, because it's the intention to do well that counts, and no one is perfect.."
