Dear Family and Friends,
Last Sunday, we explored what it means to understand others with empathy, recognizing that every person we encounter is living a story we haven’t fully heard.
I shared something I once heard at a CASA meeting: “Grief is like glitter.” Just when we think we’ve cleaned it all up, a little piece appears when we least expect it. And isn’t that true of so many things we carry in life? Joy, grief, and uncertainty can all exist within us at the same time, even when no one else can see them.
In Science of Mind™, we teach that there is One Life, One Presence, One Power expressing through all of us. But as I shared on Sunday, “It’s one thing to affirm we’re all One. It’s another thing to actually live as though we believe it.”
As you move through this week, I invite you to approach others with curiosity instead of conclusions. We don’t have to know someone’s entire story or agree with their perspective to recognize the Divine within them.
Perhaps that’s how we truly live Oneness—by making room for one another’s humanity, even when we cannot see or understand everything someone is carrying.
Empathy is Oneness in action.
