To Be Recognized: Recognition is cup of acceptance, a windfall of knowing that one is involved in this grand scale of living with so many others, it is I See You and my hello, smile, nod of the head is and indication that you are accepted on this living earth........be you black, white, yellow, red, gay, straight or otherwise. In so many imagined prosperous and progressive countries it is hard to even get someone to look at you........this simple act creates not just a sense of distance but also a feeling of isolation for the giver and receiver. Life not only seeks recognition but demands intercourse without this natural connection many become not only dissociated but will often use highly dysfunctional acts to get attention. Life is often simpler than is presumed with our ideas of self image and a basis of worth connected to materialism and position. In its simplicity as the bee to the flower, the dolphin to the swimmer, the wind to the trees, we are interconnected with it all regardless of stature, position or education. A simple smile on the street is a gift of our internal knowing that life is not only good but worthy of all who we meet. Healing the world will not come of sages, saints or religion it will be when we as a species accept our fears of the other and then through recognition allow them to dissolve our illusionary state of separation.
