Spirit of Life, God of Love, deep waters cradled me in darkness and rushing waters signaled my birth. Living waters flow through my veins night and day telling me that I am not alone, but part of a vast sea of being.  Every breath of dry air brings enough moisture into my body to awaken healing powers of renewal.  The drop on the leaf knows it is not alone as it slides down into waiting pool that merge with others in high mountain streams and meandering rivers . Why do I resist the flow of this unity by building dams that separate me from others?  Why do I let my ego fill shallow and stagnant wells of selfishness?  When will I see that the merging of my hard won individual identity with others will grant me a power that I can not imagine, a sea of understanding?     Stephen M.
