Whole

I have found that we all are connected.

Being here by the ocean I feel its connection with the stars, with the moon...

The earth truly does live in a universe.

We are all a part of it.

I feel connected to the ocean

We are made of the same sum and substance.

And further, I feel connected with other human beings here

We are all one and the same.

We're made out of the same flesh and blood

We are brothers and sisters

and the earth is our mother and the universe our father.

We should all help each other,

lift one another.

We're all here on this earth together.

We're all the same.

Yes we are individual,

but none of us,

NONE of us are so different-

no matter our

color

race

religion

face

culture...

to be left out.

God is our real father in Heaven,

He connects each one of us to the whole.

He is each of ours dad

and all of ours dad.

We are more kin than we realize to

the stranger on the bus

the fisherman in his boat

the businessman in his tie

the terrorist with his bomb

the adulterer

the priest

the professor

the gang member

the starving child half way across the world (whom we've all thought about...)

our children

our parents

even our own spouse...

If we could only grasp what we really all mean to each other... maybe then...

I don't know- maybe then we would have peace... within our own selves and with each other.

I don't know, maybe I'm just an idealist...
