We are All One Family
And we are all connected.
Family Love knows no bounds
It does not choose to love by race, colour or creed
Nor does it choose one family over another.
It holds no prejudices
Nor does it have favourites.
It does not separate, nor does it harm.
It is not cruel or unkind
And is not quick to chastise, judge or dismiss.
It is an all-encompassing, natural Love that stretches out to us all.
If we stop for a moment, we can see it every day, for it is all around us…
In the smile of a stranger
And the bright eyes of the young.
In the gentle touch of a friend
And the tender warmth of a mother
It forms the Strong Foundation upon which we Grow and Learn
That Family Love is for All
Equally so…
For this Love lies deep within the Heart of Everyone we meet.
Said with such truth, simplicity, beauty and grace. Beauti-full to read.
Family is energy first before it is who you are physically related to.
“If we stop for a moment” – that is the key. And I wonder why we gravitate towards stimulation and constant motion.
Why we still have wars is the fact that we have not yet understood the true meaning of family.
Love is so simple isn’t it, as soon as we go into details of differences like surname, gender, nationality, etc, we can be divided. Love and oneness go together.
This is so Gorgeous. Re-defining or re-claiming the true meaning of the word family something I am feeling more and more of in my life and something I have felt and known to be true all my life. ‘It is an all-encompassing, natural Love that stretches out to us all. If we stop for a moment, we can see it every day, for it is all around us…’
‘…this Love lies deep within the Heart of Everyone we meet.’ If we came back to this every time we were annoyed by someone, felt threatened by the possible threat of another group of people, felt a lack of worth in ourselves etc. we’d have a chance to not go down the route of bigotry and division; we’d remember we are love; we’d be able to call people to account for any abusive behaviour but holding them in the love that lies deep within us all.
When we have a DNA test we are clearly shown that we all have much more connected-ness with every part of humanity than we ever thought possible.
We are all One is something we have little concept of, but when we understand that we are one Family and that there is no division or separation through borders or blood lines, then we will begin to feel the beholding love we are all from and returning to.
For me family is a way of being with each other and therefore can be with anyone whom we have a true connection with.
I feel strongly how we are all one family and that it is not just those that are blood related to us that are our family. If we lived this way – loving and caring about everyone as if they were our family then there would be no need for loneliness – we could all support and be there for one another. I have this feeling in my community, that the elderly women in my neighbourhood are like my mothers and my sons grandmothers and that the same level of love, support and care can be for them and from them as if they were blood related.
When we reflect our essences as reflection is our greatest form of communication and then every-one can feel and know the truth of there being only one family.
If God is our father as he is and we are all his equal children, as indeed we are, then we are naturally all one family. We have reduced this beauty and this truth down to be only if we are related by blood connection. This is tied up with another massive reduction we have made and that is to believe we are only human and we only live once. These lies will one day be seen for the lies that they are.
To reduce God is very cheeky.
I love the way you’ve written this Susan, very beautiful and full of wisdom, and it touches many hearts.
Our essence has always been Love so our essences are then obviously all the same and all we have to do is to reflect that Love to everyone.
Energetically we are all one. Most of us has to re-learn to love unconditionally so that we can emanate a beholding love – like god.
True Ester, we must discard all the falsities we have taken on to return to the natural, beholding love we are.
