When we look at cells and how they function we see that they behave in relation to one another.  They create community.  They interact and respond to one another.  In fact these entities of which we are made serve as a model of how to be in the world.  When it comes down to it, we are a walking community of cells.  Our interconnectedness, our relation to one another, is by design right down to the very essentials that make up our basic physical matter.  It is not a matter of independence versus dependence it is about interdependence.  It is about flowing with life and recognizing that we need one another to live fully.  Others do not verify or justify our existence but they enhance it and encourage the fruition of our existence.  We are meant to connect and relate to one another because others mirror back to us how we are connected and disconnected from the Source of all creation.  If I am feeling disconnected or judged by another, it is simply a mirror of my own disconnection from who I truly am and judgment of my situation or feeling.  This is why other people are our gifts.  They allow us to see within ourselves that which cannot see on our own.  Through learning in our relationships, by feeling and reacting to what happens when we connect to each other, we allow ourselves to grow deeper and closer to who we are and who we all are.  I know that it can just be easier to make it about the other person but unless we go inside that other person we cannot truly know what is going on with them.  Therefore, all our ideas or assumptions as to why they are doing and being the way they are is not about them, it is about what energetically comes up for us. We can continue to play the role of a victim and push people away.  Or we can recognize that we have the energy about the situation or experience and ask God to show us where we might draw closer in our hearts and mend the tears at our hearts and souls that is causing us to be less than who we are fully.  My prayer for us today is that we have the courage to thank whomever we relate to in goodness and in strife because they ultimately contribute to us becoming the best version of ourselves.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
