Life is a funny thing. At any given moment, all sentient beings are experiencing something different. A baby is being born somewhere in the world while at the same moment another person is dying. People are saying hello to one another, or saying goodbye. A couple may be getting married while another has just become legally divorced. Someone is crying. Someone is laughing. A young man is listening to rock ‘n roll and another to classical music. People are going to bed on one side of the world, waking up on the other. Someone is having an orgasm, and someone else is committing murder. A muslim may be saying prayers while an atheist contemplates suicide. A young woman is eating a strict vegan diet, while another is stuffing herself with fast food. Chickens are foraging and birds are putting away calories for fall migration. Predators are dining on freshly killed prey, while a mother coyote nurses her pups. Butterflies are sipping nectar from flowers and nocturnal bats are sleeping soundly in their den. A homeless man sits on the sidewalk with an empty stare while a bald old man with a protruding belly dines at the finest restaurant.
Billions of species, including humans are experiencing the very same moment in billions of different ways. Each sees the world through their own perception and still, we are all connected to the one life that encompasses all life. We are connected invisibly to the source of that life, and to each other. It is one moment and it is everyone’s moment, to be experienced in their own unique way. In this moment, we are all one – one world, one life.
