May the music of our souls
Be accompanied by grand gestures
And the persistent clapping of hummingbird’s wings.
~ from a prayer by Lisa Colt in WOMAN PRAYERS
In the immense field of divine compassion, countless small life fields are interwoven with each other. When human hearts deepen through some form of contemplation, there emerges in them an intuition of human oneness prior to all separation ... a "communion of saints."In each religion's communal story, there is a way of handing on from generation to generation this transforming perception of universal solidarity in the Mystery. We do not learn such wisdom on our own. We receive this wisdom from someone else.
