Bestowing our Life Force

Twin girls, born conjoined at the back of the head, saw each other for the first time after successful and rare surgery to separate them. The 12-month-old girls were separated at the Soroka University Medical Center in Israel. “The first two days after the operation they were a little agitated,” said hospital staff, “and when we put them together in the same crib, they became calm and quiet.”
“We transmit the presence of everyone we have ever known, as though by being in each other's presence we exchange our cells, pass on some of our life force, and then carry that other person in our body." – Natalie Goldberg, Let the Whole Thundering World Come Home
Affirmative prayer: I feel the warmth and color of Infinite Intelligence in my being and in the lives of my soul friends. The love and brilliance of this creative force is reflected back to me by my sisters and brothers, allowing me to come face to face with the Divine. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
