WE ARE ALL In This Together by Julie Norris, Contributing Community Editor
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Not you. Not me. We. All of us. Together. At once. There is you. And me. And they. Those people. Whoever, THEY are! Mirrors. Reflections. Shadows. Children. Hurt. Yearning. All of us. Broken. Wounded. Lost and sleeping, some. Curious and seeking, some. Laughing and carefree, some. Serious and thinking, some. Scared and angry, some. Awake and creating, some. Wild and passionate, some. You. And Me. And They. Sometimes, I am this. Sometimes, you are that. Then we switch. Other times, we merge. Sometimes we drift apart. Sometimes we stick together. OFTEN WE WANT:
Happiness. Joy. Love. Appreciation. Affection. Food. Understanding. Community.
WITHOUT THAT, SEPARATION: You–over there. Me–over here. Sadness. Loneliness. Fear. Blame. Confusion. Hunger. Pain. Guilt. Darkness. We are, all, in this, together. Notice the darkness. Yours, mine, ours. Lighten up. Laugh.
Sing. Dance. Make love. And music. PLAY. Radiate. Glow. Dissolve. Notice it spreading. Growing. Reaching. Soaring. Transforming you, and I, and them. Connected. Laughing. Enjoying. Noticing. Communicating. Buzzing.
WE. ARE ALL IN. THIS! TOGETHER.
