Last evening began a high holy day celebrated by Jews around the world. Yom Kippur, known in English as the Day of Atonement, is the most solemn of Jewish holidays. It is a day of forgiveness and reconciliation. This is a principle the world needs to learn and take to heart, no matter what the religion or culture. We have all been wounded and, in turn, wounded others; yet we really are all one, sharing the same Cosmic, Divine essence and living together on the same Mother Earth. For some, it also signifies the promise of the coming Messiah: to Christians, the second coming of Christ, and even Muslims believe that Isa (Jesus) will return, bringing justice, abolishing tax and ushing in prosperity for all. For me, I would like to see the miracle take place within each of us and manifest in the world that we are at one with ourselves, each other and the Creator of all Life.
