I look upon the many faces of God,

And in each one is the Holy Breath.

Within each one shines the spark of divinity.

His hands lie invisibly

Resting upon each shoulder.

He has written us upon the palms of

His hands.

Within each form is the perfect seed of

perfection,

Waiting to blossom and grow.

The Lord has as many faces

As there are grains of sand,

Drops of water in the ocean,

Shifts of wind through the air,

Flames of fire to heat and destroy.

His light is behind each one of our faces.

Some shine bright as a million stars,

Some are glowing even at night,

Each one's existence dependent on the eternal

life within.

As we look at the many faces of God,

Remember, we are looking at ourselves,

Because as God is, we are... one.

Oneness. United. Eternally One.

THE HUMAN FAMILYby Merry C. Battles

Here we are on one planet.

Living together, searching for peace .

Our brothers and sisters are with us.

All nations and peoples with One God.

How can we progress and maintain a higher

evolution?

By willingness to cooperate and lessons of love.

We live in this tiny speck of the universe.

We are one of the billions and billions of suns

and stars.

Our little planet with its vast beauty and

harmonies of nature

Can shine as our sun reflects the greater God.

How can we live in brotherhood, humanity?

What will it take to express the Divine?

Our steady, unceasing belief that there is

One God, one planet, one people

To fulfill our destiny of love and peace .
