United Through Differences.

Sometimes the world feels separated and everything we do is placed into categories of black, white and grey. Differences may sometimes cause fear and anger, differences sometimes cause sadness, differences have been known thus far to cause people to say and act in a way that is unbecoming of who they truly are. Christians, Jews and Buddhists - gay, straight and unidentifiable - all causes for injustice and violence. You are this and I am that.

You think you are so different and your way of living is the only way possible to exist. You think anyone who feels differently is going against your God and trampling on your man made rights. This duality only exists in your mind and I am here to teach you to see through the eyes of the soul. To feel through the soul of the heart. I am here to say I still love and appreciate you, I still accept you at your worst, even when you put all others whom are different down, even when you act violently against who we are, even when your actions make no sense. I am here to tell you that no matter how much hate or indifference you possess I will greet you with love and kindness and I understand. I am here to tell you its our differences that strengthen us as a whole. Its through our differences that we learn and expand on soul level. You may see duality but I feel oneness.

Every being in the world has their own perspective and reasoning for interpreting their experience in this world. There is absolutely no right or wrong way of seeing things and experiencing life - its simply just our way. Each perspective is a unique point of view, each which carries a divine purpose. We know that not every point of view sits comfortably alongside every other point of view, and to the mind this presents a place of conflict, but to the heart this presents an opportunity to overcome limitation and difference, to unite in understanding through simple acceptance of the differences that exist in this beautiful world that each of us add color to.
