<strong><em>Life is abundant!  Our universe is teeming with its energy.  It is the matrix for all that exists around us...within us.  It is the most sacred element of the Creator/Creation.  All material objects in the universe...from the smallest nanoparticle to the most immense object...are the progeny of this eternally living energy.  It is the singularity that unites all that we only think we perceive as different objects.  In such perceptions we deceive ourselves...always.</em></strong>

<strong><em>Most of my experience praying has simply acknowledged that I am integral, inseparable, from this most sacred Creator/Creation.  I am dependant upon all of it, just as it is dependant upon me.  This 'me' is so much more than what I perceive when I am looking into a mirror, or thinking about 'who I am', 'what I am doing', 'what I am thinking'.  Stepping out of those routines and the busyness of what I misperceive as 'me'...to acknowledge the singular truth of Being...is the essence of worship of the divine Creator/Creation.  It requires no words for they would be inadequate though sincere.  The words of scripture writers and poet philosophers are only signposts pointing toward the great silent truth of knowing.</em></strong>

<strong><em>You have seen and heard those who perceive themselves as having authority to promote separation from, exclusion of, or superiority over the spiritual beliefs, religious practices, and life commitments of other people.  In the current political environment we are assaulted daily by their harsh rhetoric!  Those who promote these dualities are misperceiving themselves as well as the people they hold judgment upon.  Your knowing of your own Grace in our Creator/Creation is truth enough.  The Christ is quoted  telling you the same..."My Grace is enough for you"!</em></strong>
