Separateness

"A theology of separation has created a society of separation".  I call it the adolescence of humanity.  First we need to find out who we are as individuals and break away on our own, just like we did in our teens and 20's.  I think it's time to start coming back together.  Are you wondering how you can do everything you have to do  all by yourself?  After 10 years of living alone, I know that the next stage of growth is learning to bring my SELF, my gifts, who I am,  to live compatibly with others.  There is no end to the differences we can find if we focus in that way. But each of us is a thread in a beautiful tapestry that is humanity.  When I think of tapestry I think of one of my Facebook friends, Sarah Haskell.  Facebook is a tapestry of our friends.  We get glimpses into the lives of others that we never before had.  We can enjoy the brief connections or go deeper.  Technology is bringing us together in a way that has never before been possible.  What will we do with this opportunity??  Just know that it has the possibility of creating more understanding, tolerance, and peace. The survival and well being of humanity and our beautiful planet depend on it.
