A New Word for your Vocabulary

Not sure why, but I woke up thinking about a great word that you might want to add to your vocabulary. The word is "individuation".
The fact is (and it is a fact), we're all part of One Thing, made of One Energy, and everyone and everything is included...no exceptions. Of course, we are not the same; our paths are different. A tree is not a flower; my thumb is not my pinkie. But we're all part of one great body. From the cells in our fingertips to the furthest reaches of the universe, everything is part of--an individuation of--that One Thing: Life.

As we consider the state of our world, knowing we CAN do better, that there IS another way, we may start to look for a healing place by considering how deeply connected we really are. By relating to each other with this as a kind of "root assumption", we'll make new choices about HOW we can change (and alter our political, financial and religious constructs), in ways that reflect this expanded understanding of who we really are.

Embracing our fundamental Oneness; recognizing--and celebrating--the fact that we are all individuations of Life itself, is, I believe, our best starting point as we look to heal an ailing world...and finally consider peace as a realistic option.
