"comparisons stink..."

"comparisons are
odorous..."
- Mary Baker Eddy

when we
compare ourselves
to someone else, or them
to yet another...we
send up a
scent so odorus that
everyone
is
offended...

stop it.

it stinks...

it just stinks.

and the sad part is we don't need
to do it
at
all...

each of us is perfectly,
uniquely,
wonderfully
original...

you are incomparable
and so is
she,
he,
him,
her...
me

when we compare
ourselves,
or others,
we
are not beholding

we are
looking in the periphery
where
nothing is clear,
and everything is
out of focus
in convex distortion

we
need to
stop it...

we
must begin to
look straight ahead...

behold our
neighbor, our friend,
our sister,
ourselves through the
clear,
clean
lens of
a single
focus...

each of us is completely
beautiful,
good,
strong,
graceful,
courageous,
honest,
kind,
worthy,
deserving...

and so is she...

celebrate your
wholeness
and hers,
and his...

there is no competition
when each includes
all, and each is undoubtedly,
absolutely
gloriously whole

just as no two snowflakes
are ever the same,
and yet each
has the same makeup,
consitution...
H2O

so you, and I,
and he, and them
are all made up of,
contain,
include,
are defined by...the
indivisible wholeness
of God's character and
nature...
Principle,
Mind,
Soul,
Spirit,
Life,
Truth, 
and
Love...to the infinite
quality
and
quantity...

All that God is,
in all of His creation...

we can't compare
what
is
exactly, 
identically
perfect...

the All-in-allness
of divine
reflection...

so let's just
stop

and begin to
celebrate
the
absolute
wonder of
one
another...
