SECOND THOUGHT: CONNECTIONS IN COMMONALITY

Our uniqueness is what makes us common. It is the same fact that we are unique that we as individuals have in common. ~ Morena Baloyi

This is one of the reasons we watch movies, attend recovery groups, read memoirs, and sit around campfires telling stories long after the fire has dwindled down to a few glowing embers. It’s written in the Psalms that “deep calls to deep,” which is what happens when you get a glimpse of what someone else has gone through or is currently in the throes of and you find yourself inextricably, mysteriously linked with that person because you have been reminded again of our common humanity and its singular source, the subsurface unity of all things that is ever before us in countless manifestations but requires eyes wide open to see it burst into view. ~ Rob Bell

We all belong on this earth;
we are held in the palm of the Creator’s hand.
May we behold every person as part of our common humanity,
embrace our beautiful diversity,
honor and uplift each individual,
and live in genuine love.
