Forgetting Oneness
Following your heart can seem a fool’s journey, because it
is so individual that another can not envision the ‘logic.’ You are a unique being, as is each leaf upon
a tree. Life is imbued within you
completely. There is no mistake. Thus your heart’s journey is Life continuing
brilliantly, and just as the leaf knows wholly all that it needs to thrive, so
do your innate senses support your path.
With the leaf, which appears to have no choice, no voice, no
individuality; there is such great unique beauty that the tree, that Life, is
ever more refined. The whole, be it the
tree, the forest, the world and nature itself is more refined because of the
life of the leaf. Forces came into play
that created its form, that responded to its movement, that reflected its life
and Life was improved because of the courage of that leaf. It can seem trivial to one that can not hear
the song of the leaf calling for and calling forth life. But Life, so huge that the universe you
envision does not even begin to encompass it, is forever changed.
That profound Love surges to you and through you. It is so huge, yet there is nothing so small
that it is not honored with the vastness of infinite appreciation. It is the small that makes the large, the
large that supports the small and the connection is the Grace of Love. This is Life. Humanity has forgotten this connection
because it is the journey of Life to understand the balance of its independence
and its interdependence. The leaf is
experiencing this. Each human is
experiencing this. Each experience has
the totality of the Whole within it, and the Whole has the totality of all
individual experiences within. This is
the Oneness in its fullness. You,
blessed being, are a unique and cherished individual. You are separate and you are interconnected
with All Life. Life honors both aspects
of your Oneness. Do you? Do you appreciate the individuality in you
and around you; and do you seek to discover the unseen connections of All
Life? The Oneness? As you remember the connection
that is at first invisible, you are exalting the mystery of Life. It is Love.

thank you Jamye,
for some reason ! this message hit home and I needed to read/hear it over and over. I love the message of the leaf and I'll view leaves from a different perspective from now on. It seems such a challenge to understand that balance you talk of, the independence and the interdependence, and with each experience we have/are has the Whole within it - the Oneness. I realized that I've been seeking to discover those unseen connections of All Life you talk about -that Grace of Love. And from the Being Resistant, understanding the sovereignty of others and lovingly detach from their choice. with gratitude and appreciation, ann
Thank you, Ann! You are on a beautiful path!
