Diversity

We all come to this life with strengths and gifts to offer.  It takes a village or a community to accomplish all of the complex tasks and goals that we humans want to accomplish.  Within that village we have the opportunity to find a niche, to express our gift, to offer our unique strength toward serving the larger endeavor, the greater good.  In its highest expression, this is what coming to this life is all about.  It's about each of us offering our best selves.  In so doing we find that we have enough people to create a harmonious gathering of talent, and enough resources to complete all of our complex and necessary tasks for meaningful livelihood.  Subsequently, we then have enough of everything for everyone.
"The One Mind
Of heaven and earth is dyed into
A thousand different
Grass colors."
