Sacred Moments
By: Torie Fiore

Before that which is called “the Beginning,”
the Divine Unity encompassed ALL.
Being ALL, that which is called male or female,
Father or Mother, we united, and experienced
as One, rather than as separate aspects.
The realm of separate seeing allows the ALL to
experience diversity and all that it can become.
The human mind allows the One to experience
the uniqueness of each of its aspects.
To return to the ALL, the Oneness, is a sacred
experience. In those precious moments, one feels
united with all of life. All judgments and grievances
are suspended. It is as though they do not exist.
From the viewpoint of the ALL,
every color of skin is like a different hue
of the rainbow,
every way of praising the Infinite is like
the many melodies of the song birds,
every lesson in life’s journey is like another bend
in the Great River.
Who are we to judge the rainbow, the song birds,
or the river’s flow. We are but a traveler on the
journey of infinite possibilities. And we are the
journey and the infinite possibilities, as well.
Life is ALL.
We are a part of the ALL.
And, in sacred moments,
we are at One with the ALL.
