Thinking of all the places where we separate ourselves from others, distinguishing between “us” and “them.” The minute we do this we are building our sense of self not on what we truly are but on trying to feel better (wiser, more insightful, more spiritual or compassionate or kind. . . ) than others because we fear we are not enough. I watch myself do this. . . and if I watch with honesty and compassion, I find a way to make being right an unnecessary pre-requisite for being happy.~Oriah Mountain Dreamer from THE DANCE There has never been a time when it is more tempting to do this and more imperative to find a way to be with all of us. Aware of sharing one small beautiful planet we cannot pretend that our choices do not impact all everyone. Perhaps we can start by just considering how we impact & are effected by those with whom we share a local community, work place or home- asking for and giving consideration with awareness of our inter-beingness. Whether we agree or disagree (and lets face it- we are going to disagree some of the time- & thats okay- if we can listen & be heard its how we work out important choices & new solutions) we are in this together.
