The god in him had cried out to the god in me.
~Mary Renault
There are times when we seem to be looking directly into the depths of another person's soul. We associate these moments of deep communication and closeness - seeming oneness - with sexual intimacy, but in fact they can occur in a friendship or in any kind of relationship that permits us to come together in a profound experience of sharing. At such privileged moments, we sense that our human love is both a part and an expression of something larger. We sense that we are channels for a loving energy that fuels the universe.
We can't always have peak experiences. But we can see the divine in others, if we look for it. We can treat as sacred all the ways that our lives touch other lives. We can share in a way that allows others to begin to see into our souls.
Today, all my relationships are part of my relationship with a Higher Power.
Today's reading is from the book Glad Day
