Tonight I was feeling low about the fact that I'll almost certainly be laid off from Naropa at the end of the semester. I just read in the Boulder newspaper that the dispute between the university and the professor I'm temporarily replacing has been solved.
However, my grief began to subside when I suddenly became aware of the fact that - at the deepest level - there is no such thing as mere individuals - i.e., me, the professor who's replacing me, the administration folks who made the decision to negotiate with him, etc. Rather, there is only the Divine, mirrored in each one of us in a different way. Although - as individuals - we have competing agendas, deep inside, we are all actually God-in-hiding! And with that realization, I enter into the rich solitude of Divine unity :)
