Morning Invocation

Today, I see all humans as parts of me.

Today, I see all humans as parts of me.

I look around and I see every human being as a part of my greater family. I let race and class and age and gender fall away, as I see what unites us, and not what separates us.

I feel that we all want love, we all want joy, we all long to be free…

To be held.

To be loved.

To be fed.

I see each person on the bus, in their cars, on the street… as a part of me, as an extension of my own heart, as a part of my greater family.

I can feel into the roots of the origin of humanity, back to when there were very few of us on this planet, and I feel how we are part of that same family tree.

I let the boundaries of nationality, location, religion, fall away… and I remember that we are all connected. That we are all in this together.
