celebrating the great commonality
 

Here on these pages, and often elwewhere, it seems fair to say that we tend to focus upon presenting our various interpretations--personal or shared--of what it means to be alive and how that experience could be improved if we do/ do not do, this , that , or the other.

In maintaining that focus for whatever reason--whether with well meaning intent in order to be of assisatnce to others, or for the purpose of achieving some personal ambition--are we inevitably losing sight of (and so not able to celebrate ) the experiencing of the great existing commonality of simply being alive with all else living at the same time on the same planet--or beyond ?

We lose sight of simple pleasures and love. That is true.

We're all in this together.

Hello BigJohn and all.

Today you revealed yourself
as one of many
who look just like me.

Hi. That is all.

Hello.

With reference to "silence"--in connection with BigJohns earlier post.

Have been reading the journals of Dorothy Wordsworth, sister to poet William and friend of fellow poet ST Coleridge

On Friday 23 April 1802 the three decide to walk to visit Nab Scar, in the British Lake District.

William sat looking up at the Scar, whilst Dorothy and Coleridge walked on, she writes:--

---"We left William sitting upon the stones--feasting with silence"--

Looking through the lens of loving
I AM sees ALL IS
Then with acts of loving
Steps through the lens.
