A few days ago, I made a comment to a Facebook friend. The discussion I jumped in on was about loneliness and feeling connected through family and friends. As I have been deep into thinking about expanding our identity to include All That Is, I made a comment which included this concept. This wonderful woman wrote a poem in response to my comments. Thank you Carolyn!!
"MARSHA’S SONG
We feel so alone
Identity bereft
Reach out, reach out…
From family to country
From community to DNA
We feel so alone…
BUT what if we stop…
And connect with the air
Surrounded with sweetness
And the gentle breath of life
We unify with all that is
We are not alone…
We are amongst friends
As we weave our hearts
With wings and leaves
With the lilies of the field.
We are not alone…
WE ARE ONE!"
by Carolyn Allen
From A Course in Miracles: “Oneness is simply the idea God is. And in His Being, He encompasses all things. No mind holds anything but Him. We say 'God is', and then we cease to speak, for in that knowledge words are meaningless. There are no lips to speak them, and no part of mind sufficiently distinct to feel that it is now aware of something not itself. It has united with its Source. And like its Source itself, it merely is." A Course in Miracles W-pl.169.5
