A single consciousness fills the universe
flowing through what appear to be different forms,
like light through magnificent stained-glass windows,
giving each “thing” its unique qualities –
rose distinct from the swallow,
willow from a butterfly,
rock from a fountain,
but in the end, all one Creation.
Understanding this to be reality,
an amazing opportunity materializes:
intimate relationships with extraordinary beings
all equal, all divine, all different yet one.
None considered inferior or inanimate.
They become our teachers, friends, guides, and consolers.
The cosmos waits for us to take our place
in the democratic community of conscious sacred beings.
