The word and the idea of it is a simple
enough concept, but in practice, it can be much easier said than done. Every
person on this planet comes from different walks of life, has different
stories, and has something incredibly unique to bring to the table. Sure there
are similarities and things that we find in common with one another, but
ultimately each story is its own. This can make times of understanding,
compassion, and graciousness hard to find at times. I've found that it's when
we embrace the chaos, mystery and unique features of all aspects of this world
that it begins to take on new forms in our eyes.
I've been accused of being a granola,
earthy hippy, and yes that is correct, but I can't help believe there's
something incredibly profound about loving each other. It really can be that
simple if we so choose it to be. Remove the intellectual definitions, societal
stereotyping and instead turn to a sense of wonder about something that at
first glance baffles you. You may just find yourself thinking more highly of
your fellow human beings and be surprised by the compassion you find down deep
inside yourself.
Peace
