commonality - noun: the state of sharing

features or attributes. 

 

In our modern, often egocentric and ethnocentric

times, it is hard to see the common existence

that we all truly do share. We, as individuals, as

communities, ethnic groups, religions,

and as nations have found it easy to promote

the intrinsic chauvinism of whatever group,

or faction, we consider ours. 

 

Yet, the inspired message I receive, like the

one here offered is always clear -  that enlightened,

positive spiritual existence requires that we

understand our role as part of the commonality

of all existence. That our contribution made

daily through our creative labor, whatever

form helps stoke the hearth of evolving

life and consciousness.

 

So may this note serve as a reminder

today of this commonality, and how our

lives depend on this common undertaking

we call life. 

 

COMMONALITY

Today let us strive to open our hearts,

to share our feelings, to express our

deepest longings, and by doing so

reach a place of commonality, where

we each exist, one within the other,

overlapping souls in harmonic unison.

As we open our hearts, let us speak,

write, play, sing, build, create, inspire,

plant - all contributing to this symphony

of an evolving existence - no one voice

more earnest or essential than the

other - all equal but distinct.

So let our labor be a gift of love today,

our totem, our tithe, our tangible

offering to this life so enormous, so

momentous, warming our spirits from

the sparks of its mighty becoming,

knowing within this common undertaking,

our life, all life, is perpetuated.

As much as I try to look beyond the state

of our current union, the level of our internal

hostility and bitterness seem to require,

at times, the only type of reminder I am

capable of offering or qualified to express –

a simple reminder that  beneath our

well-honed outrage that we are still,

and will always be, one - a singular we.

 

THE SINGULAR WE

Let us sit clear-headed,

perched near the edge

of the pond of our knowing,

leaving behind and shedding

the friction of common existence,

here only true essence matters:

the flow of pure energy,

the substance of our living,

as we wake to the moment,

realizing our solitude is now

replaced with the multitude,

as the infinity of us surrounds

the pond’s edge, stretching beyond

perception, each being connected

as the thread of light travels from

and through, heart to heart, Soul to Soul;

now, what was plural is singular,

a unity of perfect being.

PROPEL THE CHANGE - AFFIRMATIVE THOUGHT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

Whether the change needed is on the personal,

family, community, country, or the world level,

we must propel this change through our active

participation and total life commitment.

        

PROPEL THE CHANGE

Each of us, through our desires and intentions

must propel the change we wish to happen

in our world – our thoughts fueled by strong

emotion lays the foundation and provides

the spark but our own inner vision must

provide the plan.  

 

Let us commit ourselves to be this change –

to be this creative force for good – for the

potential greatness that sits beneath

the surface of our lives – of our joint living

and being – knowing we are worthy of this glory.

 

Know and believe that in our individual

and joint efforts, we hold the key to changing

and evolving all creation – humankind

and all life – by the simple force of our

hearts and wills, combined and joined for good.
