Day 7
We are all one
Spend time with the photos

From many varied sources we are reminded: We are all one

​

Everything,

everything that is in the heavens, on earth, and under the earth

is penetrated with connectedness,

penetrated with relatedness.
 Hildegard of Bingen

We are all connected;

to each other, biologically;

to the earth, chemically;

to the rest of the universe atomically.
 Neil deGrasse Tyson

astrophysicist, author, and science communicator 

Woven into our lives

is the very fire from the stars

and genes from the sea creatures,

and everyone, utterly everyone, is kin

in the radiant tapestry of being.

Elizabeth A. Johnson,

feminist theologian

Humankind has not woven the web of life.

We are but one thread within it.

Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

All things are bound together.

All things connect.
  Chief Seattle

Realize that everything connects to everything else.
    Leonardo da Vinci

 

It is the day of days

when the inner eye opens

to the unity of all things.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson
 

The universe is a single, vast, interconnected whole.
   Deepak Chopra

We are all leaves of one tree.

We are all waves of one sea.
 Thich Nhat Hanh

​

Matter is spirit

moving slowly enough

to be seen 

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ 

 

The universe unfolds in God. 

There is a mystical meaning to be found in a leaf,

in a mountain trail, in a dewdrop, in a poor person’s face. 

The ideal is to discover God in all things. 

 Pope Francis in Laudato Si' (233)
