The Power of One
Okay boy and
girls, I’m going out on a limb into the deep where no one has gone before, into
uncharted territories of wilderness in that place you call, You.
Now that the
sane folks have left and I’ve gotten your attention, let’s get down to the
real.
We are
living in a world of false division.
Every day,
all day long you are being given the “opportunity” to choose or pick a side. At
first glance, there are two sides but once you’ve chosen that side, there are
two more and then more and on and on and on.
You chose to
be a Christian, then you have to choose a denomination. Once you chose the
denomination or non-denominational version of that, you chose the church. Once
you chose the church, you choose the club—sorry, auxiliary board, choir, or
service that you’ll be a part of. When you chose that, you chose the side of
which dual you will exist on.
With your
career, you’ve chosen a path. Maybe it chose you, but somehow you decide to
work at the place you call, your job. Once there, you’ve chosen a department
which also finds itself divided. That division comes with its own cliques and
in-groups. You chose one based on who you’ve come to be and then you remember your
life at home. You find that there is another group and so you strive to find
work-life balance.
We are
fragmented beyond belief.
Even our own physical body is divided into parts with
those we like and those we don’t; the part that’s in pain and the part you like
to show.
Where one
part ends, another division begins.
The Power of One is about wholeness.
It’s about beginning to see and feel the connectedness of who you are and the
impact you can have.
Think about
the division you’ve created within yourself, your family, your community, your
world.
Are you on
the side of blacks or whites, democrats or republicans, the believer or those
other folks?
Take a
moment to feel the impact of this separation.
Now see where life
connects.
Stay tuned for more.
Be you, be well, be ONE
