No One is an Island

​Sitting in meditation this morning, (Friday 13 Feb) with our wonderful Daily Word family, the thought that ‘no man is an island’ came to mind and heart.
 
It was very quickly followed by, no man, woman, non-binary, or however we describe ourselves, is an island.
 
All of us are connected to each other, to all of life. Take a moment, not just to read these words, but allow them to be true for you. Breathe in fully and know, ‘I am not alone. I am loved. I am love.’  Breathe out and let that love flow.
 
When we meet in person, and in our online Zoom meetings, whether they are for prayer, meditation, conversation or study, we deeply feel that connection with each other, which comes through our connection with Source, God, Divine Mind and Heart.
 
For me, it is a beautiful and deep feeling of love; this is what I felt this morning. Feeling safe, feeling loved, belonging, is a primal human need that can only be truly fulfilled through our connection with Source, which manifests through our shared connection.
 
The more we meet and spend time together, without prejudice, but with open minds and hearts, the more the love that we truly are, grows.  We are born as love – every other feeling is learnt behaviour, and what has been learned, can be unlearned and released. Let us come back to love. Let us meet without prejudice but with open minds and hearts, and see what happens. Only good can come from this – for ourselves, each other and our world.
