Writing Into Unity

There are mornings when I return to a single, steady intention—the one that keeps me oriented when the world feels loud, fractured, or hurried. Seeing and Unity Today was written from that place. It is a prayer-poem, a daily compass, and a reminder that how we see determines how we live.

This poem asks something deceptively simple: to view every circumstance as a gift, no matter how it arrives. It invites us to recognize fellow travelers as equally important, to remember that the land does not belong to us but exists in its own sacred right, and to receive even our daily bread with gratitude rather than grasping. Woven through each line is a spiritual paradox—everything is ours and nothing is, joy is boundless and equally available, and unity is not something we achieve but something we realize.

At its heart, the poem points toward a radical truth: enlightenment is not reserved for the few. Freedom is not distant. When we genuinely see unity in everything before us, the inner chains loosen. The captive—often our own fearful, contracted self—is set free.

If these words resonate, I invite you to experience them not just as a reader, but as a writer and witness. Join us next Sunday, March 8, for my “Write What Spirit Whispers” poetry workshop at Unity Of The Oaks Church, where we’ll explore poetry as a spiritual practice—one that deepens seeing, cultivates unity, and gives voice to what is most true. Come write, reflect, and remember together.
