The Foolish, Sacred, Way

Deep within we long for unity because, at the most fundamental level, we are already one. We belong to one another because we have the same source of love

 Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, 11.03.2105

________________________________________________

in the beginning was the One

Radical Unity

The Sacred

God

The Beloved

and from that one flowed

all of creation

the universe

this sphere on which we live

trees and flowers

birds and beast

and us

all of us

the good, and the bad,

all genders

all races

all cultures

all

we share

a common origin

we share the Sacred Presence

we are connected

fear can disrupt our unity

so it seems

can many other things

but when we hate

and judge and exclude

we violate

the One who is

The Source

the call of the one who is love

is to see each other

with the eyes of Love

with eyes

that see that in each person

the Sacred dwells

that each one,

clean, dirty

sober, or not

educated, or not

Republican or Democrat

is part of us

and we are part of them

Sacred children

united

this is not easy

it seems like foolishness

it is scary

and risky

and we might, we will, get hurt

indeed

but the way of the one,

who most clearly reflects The One,

always did teach such foolishness

as a way

of

life

as the way

to

life
