Between Spirit And Soul
“The earth was created by the assistance of the sun, and it should be
left as it was… The country was made without lines of demarcation,
and it is no man’s business to divide it…”
— Chief Joseph, NEZ PERCE
There is danger when we start to draw lines and boundaries. This is true whether outside
ourselves or inside ourselves. The danger is losing sight of the interconnectedness. When we
lose sight of interconnectedness, separation, possessiveness (this is mine, I can do what I want)
an infighting results. Even at an individual level, if we don’t believe we are connected to all
things we get self-centered and have self-seeking motives. We must think in harmony, balance
and integrity. We must see our relationship to the great whole and conduct ourselves accordingly.
Great Spirit, today, let me think beyond boundaries
