Reflections

Wherever you are, you are one with the clouds and one with the sun and the stars that you see, You are still one with everything.

We feel like separate water droplets but we are also ocean.

“In our estrangement from nature we have severed our sense of the community of life and lost touch with the experience of other animals.

“We are the universe pretending to be individuals.

“In nature nothing exists alone.

“A Zen master said to a monk, “You must see the universe in your cup.

“In biology, every ‘I’ has been enabled by a ‘we.

“We come from God and return to God, and in the ‘interim’ we live in the presence of God–even when we do not know or acknowledge it.

“You are not just the drop in the ocean.

All know that the drop merges into the ocean, but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.
