All things are one, but they are not the same. It is marvelous to revel in this unity while at the same time appreciating our differences.
We humans are all members of the same species, made of atoms, containing the same organs, and harboring the same basic needs and impulses, and yet our behavior and thoughts are highly individualized. Is this God manifesting in so many ways that the variety is unfathomable? If we saw ourselves as co-creators, perhaps we would (like ants and bees who operate with "one mind") be more kind to all living things.
Oneness is not sameness, but the belief in our oneness and divinity may bring us to acceptance of things as they are.
Happy Earth Day! We have another chance to practice the sacred today (and every day) because we are alive and alove.
