True union, I read this morning,
Gives birth to the glory of differentiation,
And I thought: How true!
Those who love us most are the ones
Who give us space to become
Our most unique, individual selves.
Why then, do we fail to understand —
And often fear to contemplate —
The underlying unity
Which joins us to the earth
And to one another;
That endlessly creative unity,
The oneness of the universe,
Which continues to produce
An ever greater multiplicity of life forms,
No two alike, and yet united in their diversity?
