My "Otherness" Falling Away

​As the counting of votes continues, Republicans are looking to win the House of Representatives, which will divide Congress and make it more difficult for the White House and the Democrats to advance their domestic agenda. But the GOP’s win may result in both parties being more productive than expected. Research shows that the US government sometimes overperforms during periods of divided government.
Here is the ultimate irony of the divided life: live behind a wall long enough, and the true self you tried to hide from the world disappears from your own view.”
​– Parker Palmer, A Hidden Wholeness
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I allow my sense of otherness to fall away as I move through this day. I am vividly aware of my connection to – my oneness with – all those in the great arena of life. I am blessed by the uniqueness of each soul, and I honor their place in Divine Mind. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
