Reflections

“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.

“If everything is connected to everything else, then everyone is ultimately responsible for everything.

“Through me course wide rivers and in me rise tall mountains.

“We are now in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us.
