—Sir Thomas Browne
One definition of divinity in the dictionary is “supreme excellence.” It also means “god-like character” and “divine nature.”
Doesn’t that describe someone we love? When we are in love with someone, we see only the best of that person – it’s impossible to see anything else. That person is “divine,” we say, perfect for us, because he or she loves us and is lovable.
Each one of us has a part that is divine. We see it occasionally in others, and they see it in us when they love us. We can draw on that divine part of every person for strength and hope and courage and faith and love. There is wonderful, mysterious beauty in all of us, even when we behave badly.
What divinity do I see in those around me right now?
