Family – Beyond Blood TiesMention the word family and many descriptions come to mind. Family may be the people you live with or the people you rarely see. Family can be those who gave birth to you and or the people who raised you. Family can be your current or former spouse’s/partner’s family. One thing is for sure, families come in many shapes and sizes.
Today, the type of family I want to be reminded of is the family within Love. A family within Love requires no blood ties, nor common ancestry. This family does not require a history or a background.
This new type of family is open to Love through the connection within Life. This family is open to all participants. It is a living, breathing entity for there are neither limitations nor requirements for membership. While each family may be separate, the unity of Love connects each person within the family to the greater whole, the Infinite, the Ever-Presence: God.
Through the month of March, I will ponder the many faces of family. I will attempt to illustrate how I found joy. By connecting spiritual practice with everyday experiences through Love, a new definition of family will emerge.
