If our eye were single...

 

This is my wish for all of us on this beautiful planet Earth. It was given to me by a friend, and the author has graciously given me permission to share it with you here.

 

 

MAY WE ALL BE BLESSED WITH EVER-INCREASING AWARENESS OF UNITY, BOTH WITHIN OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS, AND IN OUR INTERCONNECTIONS WITH ALL OF BENEVOLENT LIFE

IF OUR EYE WERE SINGLE

 

If our eye were single,

what would we see?

 

Would there be good and evil?

Or only love dancing in and out of the Light?

 

Would there be right and wrong?

Or only love's experience?

 

Would there be pain and pleasure?

Or only life expanding?

 

Would there be truth and falsity?

Or only a growing knowing?

 

Would there be the ugly and the beautiful?

Or only and expanding ability to see beauty?

 

Would there be male and female?

Or only love embracing itself?

 

Would there be waking and sleeping?

Or only a continuity of consciousness?

 

Would there be rich and poor?

Or only sufficiency relative to soul purpose?

 

Would there be life and death?

Or only and eternal journey?

 

Would there be night and day?

Or only and ongoing cyclic experience?

 

Would there be Sun and Moon?

Or only Light illuminating the nature of things?

 

Would there be four seasons?

Or only the dance of nature's love upon the table of time?

 

Would there be land and sky and sea?

Or only love for all of nature?

 

Would there be different colors?

Or only the unified refractions of the light of white?

 

Would there be karma or the possibility of inbalance?

Or only love?

 

Would there be different religions?

Or only the sacred weave with many strands?

 

Would there be one versus another?

Or only and us of One?

 

Would there be Heaven and earth?

Or only a choice of experience?

 

Would there be Creator and Created?

Or only the dance of love expanding itself?

 

 

 

If our eye be single,

the dance of all opposites

would keep beat

with the rhythm of One.

 

The eye that is single,

sees only Love.

 

The eye that is single,

is forever . . . and more.
