It was not just a collection of people….. but an
infinitely precious band of souls.
It was, rather, a spiritual notion – the idea that
each of us, even the least of us, has a rich hinterland of value behind us: the
lives we have led, the thoughts we have had, the love we have given and
received – the little things of our lives that may not mean much to others
unless and until they are granted the insight that Angus was suddenly
vouchsafed; that insight that brings love into the heart, sudden, singing, exalting
love. To see another as a soul was to acknowledge the magnificent, epic course
that life is for each of us…..

they are every where
people
on the street
in meeting rooms
in our living rooms and kitchens
our bedrooms
people
but not merely people
souls
beings who carry the Sacred within them
who participate in the Sacred
who have something in them that is deeper
richer
so much more
than the framework that we see
and sometimes touch
souls
this day
may we see souls
not merely people
may we see
what is infinitely precious
in those we meet
