In
Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut...
in the center of the
shopping
district, I was suddenly overwhelmed
with the realization that
I loved all
those
people, that they were mine
and I theirs, that we could not
be alien to one
another even though
we were total strangers.
It was like waking from a dream
of
separateness, of spurious self-isolation
in a special world, the world of
renunciation and supposed holiness.
This sense of liberation from an illusory
difference was such a relief
and such a joy to me that I almost laughed out
loud!
I have the immense joy of being a member of a race in which God
became
incarnate...
There is no way of telling people that they are all walking around
shining like the sun.
