"I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple,<a href="http://provoketive.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/kahlil-gibran-wisdom.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-5502" src="http://provoketive.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/kahlil-gibran-wisdom-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>

pray in your church.  For you and I are sons of one religion,

and it is The Spirit". - Khalil Gibran

<strong><em>Life is our abundance!  Our universe is teeming with its energy.  It is the matrix for all that exists around us... within each of 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 what we only think we perceive as differing objects.  In such perceptions we deceive ourselves...always.</em></strong>

<strong><em>Most of my experience praying is simply acknowledging that I am integral, inseparable, from this most sacred Creator/Creation.  I am dependant upon all of it, just as all of 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 have been thinking'.  Stepping out of this routine and busyness of what I misperceive as me...to acknowledge this 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 the scripture writers and poet philosophers are only signposts pointing toward the silence of truly 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 by their harsh rhetoric daily!  Those who promote these dualities are misperceiving themselves as well as the people they hold judgement upon.  Your knowing of your own Grace in our Creator/Creation is truth enough.</em></strong>

<strong><em>Look how we pray... See how we yearn... Hear our prayers... </em></strong><strong><em>Listen for the eternal voice of  the Creator/Creation!</em></strong>
