I’ve noticed that, when I walk in town, I cant’ help looking at people. I mean, I really LOOK at people, not as passing shadows I happen to encounter, but as REAL persons, human beings – as I am. Although I don’t know them, I don’t know their stories, I feel a sort of connection, an awareness of them being just like me, individuals who are experiencing life, each with their challenges, just like me – and you. Can this awareness help create a greater understanding, a deeper feeling of “oneness”? I surely hope so. I can’t honestly say that I already feel this kind of oneness with “The Others”, but I do believe that trying to see them in a new light might be a first step.
