May you see the Presence of God in all beings. May you gaze upon the face of another and see your Own. May first impressions not sway you from the recognition of God within another. May you greet all strangers as if meeting a Friend. May you embrace their soul as if reuniting with a long-lost loved one. May each encounter be magical, as you reconnect with a part of your Self that fragmented before each of you was born into physical existence.

In this way of seeing your fellow man, may your own soul grow in leaps and bounds of boundless joy as you realize that you never were alone at all—that the part of you that breathes breathes in all others and never stops breathing, even when the body is gone. It is the breath of Life that needs no physical lungs to inspire and no physical heart to throb. You are inspired by God. You cannot expire, nor can your brother. Greet your brother with this knowingness, and life takes on new joy.
