What does it mean to see the light in others?

What it means to see the light in others is to acknowledge on a very basic level that the same Spirit and light within me, is the same Spirit and light that exists in you, and in all human beings. While we all have our unique differences, and these differences should be both honored and respected, we also have within each of us a oneness of Spirit that we share. 

It would seem that in this time of life there is a push towards identifying the things which separate us, which place us on opposing sides, the things which cause us to hate rather than love. 

So it is both my challenge to you, as well as my encouragement for you, that we explore what it might look like to notice the elements of life in each of us that are the SAME

Have you stopped to consider why in our society some lives are more "valued" than others? Why we weep over the loss of one life while entirely disregarding the loss of another? 

I believe that one of the greatest gifts we can provide another human is to truly see them, to care for them, and to acknowledge that they are deserving of love in the same way that we are. 

My posting this past year has been quiet because I feel that we are all overwhelmed by a tremendous amount of "content" and our minds are weary of all the commentary and discussion available....However, I also feel that it can be helpful to offer encouragement to all of us to stay kind and care well for one another. 

So I leave you with this message of peace ~
