Truly alive is
the whole universe.
When one part of it hurts,
the whole of it hurts
in sympathy.
When another of it rejoices,
the whole of it rejoices,
out of compassion.
When one part hungers,
another part offers itself
in sacrifice.
When the creatures thrive,
those creatures die.
When a goose loses a mate,
it dies of a broken heart.
The whole universe is alive.
While each creature in it
are unaware of the whole,
they are aware of each other.
Thus life is interconnected,
interdependent, as one.
It is as though the love
of the universe is expressed
through the life cycle
of birth, and death.
The living universe is
the infinite consciousness,
the God in all creation.
And each of us has our place
in the whole universe.
