Bright Space
Diversity
by Dane Allred
When the universe wanted to find out all there was to know
It created you and me.
In the Bright Space we all enjoyed each other’s company,
Celebrating the unlimited number of ways
This universe wanted to discover
All there was to know.
Even when you and I
Experience the same thing,
We experience it in completely different ways.
We can try to explain to someone else
What we have seen and felt
And another person would explain
The same experience
In a completely different way.
But the opposite is also true.
When we are gathered together
United for a purpose
With hundreds or thousands
Of different people
All desiring the same goal,
The same unity,
We are feeling a part of that oneness
We once felt in the Bright Space.
Though we are diverse individuals
With different backgrounds,
Preferences, desires and goals,
At that one moment,
During that one time we are gathered
Together
We feel as one
We shout as one
We act as one.
What a great mystery to be contemplated.
We are apart
And yet we can be one.
It’s that same feeling we get
When we meet someone new,
But they really aren’t new to us
Because we were together before
In the Bright Space.
There is that spark of recognition
That feeling of familiarity
That feeling of oneness
Even though we are quite different
From one another.
While we spin in our own spheres
On this world
Spinning through space
At unbelievable speeds,
We take the time to know others
To help others
To seek that purpose for which
We were sent here.
To experience what this life will offer us,
And experience all the others we will ever meet
As we travel on our voyage.
Someday, when we have experienced
All this life has to offer,
We will return to the Bright Space
The place that is no place
Where there is no here and then
But only now
And we celebrate our oneness and diversity.
