What if


 “So every day

I was surrounded by the beautiful crying forth
of the ideas of God,
one of which was you.”
― Mary Oliver

I love the idea that each one of us can be an aspect of beauty/God.  What if we took the time to see the beauty in each other?  What if we chose to love everyone? No matter how ugly we see their beliefs, ideas etc.  In truth, I believe we have more in common than we think.  When we drill down we all want love, safety, to have our physical needs met, freedom and to self-actualize.  Sure, we don't always agree on how to get those things.  Is that really important?  I want to be the kind of person that look past differences of whatever variety.  I want to be a woman of peace.  A woman that welcomes and not rejects.  I want to be a woman of love.  It is so simple really, but not always easy.
