We are already one and we imagine we are not.

And what we have to recover is our original unity.

Whatever we have to be is what we are.

~Thomas Merton

when it’s time to just be together…

inquiry for today~ how do you sense oneness?

how it goes…..

Shalom (peace) is the elimination of hostile conflict, but not the dissolution of individuality and uniqueness. To create perfect harmony we must find shared common interest and goals, but not eliminate individuality in the process.

Equality and sameness are not equated, and true equality is the celebration and recognition of individuality. Shalom is a symphony of single notes, a blending of divergent ideas and expressions, all working towards a common score, creating a perfect harmony.

~Rav DovBer Pinson
