We can ask ourselves, are we still looking for something "other," something transcendent? Or are we seeing what is, and recognizing that it is part of a whole in which everything is connected together? This simple awareness about everyday life is a profound realization. It is like the fish recognizing water, or the wayfarer becoming aware of the miracle of the breath.

The particulars of the path are the particulars of our life. But we must also see that each particular is universal, an expression of oneness. It is all one breath, breathed in many different ways in each moment. We are the breath of the One. We are the multiplicity and also the oneness. The wonder is the many ways in which the oneness manifests, each unique, each a different expression of the one, all connected together, all interrelated. And we are a part of this divine consciousness, awakening to its wonder.
