A song I’ve heard begins: “There is only One of us.  In your eyes it is me I see.”  I am eternally grateful for the so-called “others” in my life.  Sometimes they mirror to me what I love.  Sometimes the reflection shows me a sliver of my personality that probably challenges the world.  In either case, I am faced with an unending opportunity to learn more about myself. 

Like the Sphinx taught: Know thyself.  Truly a secret of the universe.

And then you all give me essential hope and grace.  In your eyes I can recognize the dear and earnest path I chose in being human.   I remember the hysterical adventure I begged to take–a spirit moving to the most obtuse dimension merely to remember that I am spirit.

In your eyes I see the One that I seek, and in the mirroring eyes of Your love I am found.
