the division between us and the universe...us and the past...us and the future...us and nature...between me and you...is soooo thin. i am the universe. i am the past. i am the future. i am nature. i am you and you are me. its simple and complicated and amazing and crazy and true. i wish the best for you. when you are your best, i am my best too. when the universe spins in harmony and peace. when the stars are in their places. when we live a life that will make tomorrow better then today. when i look back at the past to see where i have fallen and what i have learned. then, yes then. i am being. being in my place as a small thing, a beautiful thing that can change so much if i understand that i am changing only along with the forces of love that move in and through us all. i believe in the goodness of you. i believe that your goodness pours out of you and into me. and helps create my goodness. i could never be good on my own. it is you. and her. and him. and all of them pushing all of us to be good. and beautiful. and loving.

i imagine the divine to be a constant invisible wave of love and beauty and inspiration and drive and being the moves like the wind...but not just in one direction. that it goes and comes back and goes and comes back. when she passes through you are me or a stranger or a sunflower that the wave takes us by surprise raises us for a moment to believe and understand that life is a gift. and that we have the opportunity and the need to spread her reminders of all these wonderful on...constantly. in my life i want to create a place of acceptance. of joy. and of love. wherever i go, and with whoever i meet.

the universe is huge. the planets. the stars. the sun. the moon. the earth. the continents. the seas. the cities. the streets. and in it all there is you. and here is me. knowing you are a small is an amazing realization. that puts everything in perspective. while also helping you realize that life is completely not understandable. i will never really know what is going on around me, let alone way out there. YET i am here. and you are there. and we are small important pieces of love in this HUGE universe of ours.
