Queries for April
When we feel separated from the Spirit, when we feel separated from each other, and from the earth and the universe of which we are a part we are living in sin (error).
Only when we feel separate from others can we hate them, kill them, oppress them, and discriminate against them. Only as we feel separate from the earth and all life on it can we go on destroying it.
from Bruce Birchard's Pendle Hill Pamphlet The Burning One-ness Binding Everything
How would my life be different if I were living in right relationship with all of Creation? What is standing in the way?
