There is a famous photograph of the Earth that was taken from far out in space. It is called the Blue Marble, and most of us have seen it more than once. It show a shining ball of deep blue, brilliant green and warm brown, all of it wreathed in misty white clouds.
There are no boundaries visible except between the water and the land. There is no separation visible except between the water and the land, and somehow, looking at it, we know that separation is illusory, since the water just covers part of the land – the land is
also underneath the water, supporting it. We see only the wholeness, the beauty, and the peace that are the nature of our planet. Let us hold that picture in our hearts, pull our focus back from nations, wars, difference and separation, and allow peace to surface in our hearts and minds – it must then also surface in our experience and in our world.
If this resonates with you, please take 15-20 minutes to sit with this image until it takes root in your heart and in your consciousness, until you feel its essential perfection in your own being.
Love and blessings,
Rev. Dr. Sharri
