We think and act as though we're primarily on a personal journey. Yet, the journey is not so much about me as a person as about me in relation with all others. Spirit happens in the relation between the other and me. Since creation is one big set of relations, spirit is happening to me all the time. If I am unaware of all this, I am living in illusion and am dispirited. ~jpc

I like this meditation very much. I would substitute for the last sentence. "When I am aware of this I am filled with spirit and illumination." --Herman Greene
