Yes, we are all unique individuals, each with unique gifts we can give to others, each with unique talents we can use to serve those around us, and each with unique opportunities every day in which to do so … And yes, we are all of us patently different in the ways we can Care — and in the ways we can make our lives Meaning-full thereby.

Yes, we are all different, and our paths through life are scintillated & many … AND YET how ironic it is that selfless LOVE (the verb) is the one & only Way for us all to practically experience “the Will of God” — the one & only Way for us all to know our profound & lasting “salvation”.

How ironic it is that, while there are literally billions of uniquely varied tributaries for us to sail towards a horizon of true Joy & pure Peace, there remains only one Main River which all of these rivulets must ultimately join — that despite the fact that we each do indeed walk through our days along our own unique pathways with our own unique gaits, there is still only one Pure Path with which all our smaller ways must one day merge — that there is only one, true Way that can ever hope to truly bring us HOME.

“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit within them; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord that inspires them; and there are varieties of selfless activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” ~ 1 Corinthians 12:4-7
