Oh What a Beautiful Morning Revisited
This month I will be doing something a little different. I will be revisiting a few of my favorite posts from the past and maybe offering a little update on what is going on now in our lives.
Today I have chosen Oh What a Beautiful Morning, which was posted shortly after we moved to the lake nine years ago. That first summer I went down to the lake every morning and took a photo of the sunrise. I hope you have enjoyed seeing these photos over the years.
I have also been ejoying my early morning walks, often stopping to enjoy the sunrise. Lately I have been going out on the dock for sunrise yoga. Early morning is a quiet and peaceful time here at the lake and I love having personal quiet time before the community wakes up.
I hope you enjoy these little blasts from the past this month.
July Wrap Up
We are bringing oneness month to a close with We Are One by Suzy Kassem. Our August posts will be some of my favorites from over the years we have been Espirational. I hope you will join us.
“ONE BUT MANY
One God, many faces.
One family, many races.
One truth, many paths.
One heart, many complexions.
One light, many reflections.
One world, many imperfections.
ONE.
We are all one,
But many.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
A Drop in the Ocean
“We are that drop in the ocean of the cosmos which contains within itself the entire cosmos. (p. 12)”
― Theodore J. Nottingham, Doorway to Spiritual Awakening: Becoming Partakers of the Divine
In the Oneness That is We
“Every river flows gracefully. At times, with such intensity, yet ever so gently into the ocean of all hearts. In the Oneness that is we, each drop waters each cell, which reunites us in the wholeness as water from a well.” ― Ulonda Faye, Sutras of the Heart: Spiritual Poetry to Nourish the Soul
The Friday Affirmation
I am happy and peaceful.
At One With the All
“Love is the highest bliss that man can attain to, for through it alone he truly knows that he is more than himself, and that he is at one with the All.” ― Rabindranath Tagore, Sadhana
Not Sameness
“Oneness is not sameness.”
― Lois Farfel Stark, The Telling Image: Shapes of Changing Times
We are one with God, the Universe, creation and each other. But yet we are not the same. We are each God expressing, but yet we are all different. We each express a different aspect of the Divine in our own unique way. Aren’t you glad?
Togetherness, Goodness, Compassion
God’s dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family, that we are made for togetherness, for goodness, and for compassion. — Desmond Tutu
