One Soul. One Heart.
“Ye were created to show love one to another and not perversity and rancour. Take pride not in love for yourselves but in love for your fellow-creatures. Glory not in love for your country, but in love for all mankind.”
~ Tablets of Baha’u’llah
“Love one another. As I have loved you, so must you love one another.”
~ The New Testament, John 13:34
“Whoever kills a soul, it is as if he has slain mankind entirely, and whoever saves one life, it would be as if he has saved the life of all mankind.”
~ The Qur’an, Surah 5:32
“He who sees the same Lord everywhere does not harm himself and others.”
~ The Bhagavad Gita
“But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you and thou shalt love him as thyself.”
~ Tanakh, Leviticus 19: 34
“Our love should encompass every living being on, below, within, outside, and around us. Day and night, whether standing or walking, sitting or lying down, we should dwell in that love.”
~ Gautama Buddha
*In loving memory of each life lost to acts of unimaginable cruelty and terrorism around the world.
Amen!

Thank you, Sharon. All I can say is Amen…
Thank you, Sharon; it is good to focus our energies on the miraculous and joyful ways we are all connected, including those so damaged they cannot perceive the light and love that binds us together. May all be healed and may we work to make it so.
Blessed are those who discovered the Secret of Life, the Beginning, the End: Love is the Secret. Thank You Sharon to remind us so simply what ALL are looking for.
This is great. Thank you dear Sharon, Blessing and Happiness, love, nia

Wonderful words and that last photograph is “a leaf in spring time” and one of life’s precious gifts.
My dear Mary,
I just had to let you know that the last photograph is a picture of my son who had just woken up from a nap. Indeed these young lives are our leaves in springtime. With many thanks for your beautiful comment. Sharon

Dear Sharon,
This is a beautiful post! Thank you for sharing it.
One soul. One heart. One love. ♥
Beautiful post, Sharon.
This a lovely and timely post.
Beautiful post Sharon. I liked the first picture the most. Great work as always.
Dear Arindam,
I am so glad the first photo made an impression on you. It is a special one for me too. The girl on the left is my lovely sister-in-law Mea with her very good friend Tiina. The warmth of their hearts in this photo is palpable. Each of these photos hold a special significance and moment in my life. It is good to be reminded of such beauty and goodness at such a time. With many thanks to you. Sharon
Amen.

Thanks for a lovely tribute to humanity and raising consciousness. To answer dear Shakti, do not only reinforce a “belief system”, but look deep within your soul and share it with those around you. Take action when necessary to make the world a better place. Don’t think about lofty concepts, internalize them and just do it!
Sharon’s daily reminders list, on the right column, is an excellent first step. BE IT, THEN DO IT. ♥ Have a wonder filled day everyone. ♥
I couldn’t have said it better! So good to hear from you and so good to be connected to dear folks like you. Your blog name says it all. My warmest blessings to you and what you live by. Hugs. Sharon
What first steps could each one of us take to reinforce the belief of ” One Soul, One World” into the society?
Lovely quotes.
Shakti

Incredible. We need this, to hold to, cling to. There IS light and love and good in the world. Thank you so much for helping us all return awareness to these eternal truths.
God bless.
