Susan, I especially loved this part of your article:

"As parents, our children's dependency ties us to responsibilities, giving us the opportunity to grow out of self-serving ways. Children have us as a role model to emulate and as someone to guide and support them till independence day. And when our parents again become as children through old age or illness, we have the responsibility to care for them."

Here's the article:

Feeling Connected with Everyone Through Meditation

Living in a family is like being one of the spokes of a wheel. We are busily immersed in various activities during the day, but at day's end our consciousness again returns to the hub of family life.

In healthy family life, each member gives (babies give us laughs) and takes. In this way each has the opportunity to give and receive, everyone receiving the benefits of both. Family provides a strong support unit in times of stress and illness. Family support helps us work through life's ups and downs.

As parents, our children's dependency ties us to responsibilities, giving us the opportunity to grow out of self-serving ways. Children have us as a role model to emulate and as someone to guide and support them till independence day. And when our parents again become as children through old age or illness, we have the responsibility to care for them.

On the world scale all the peoples of earth are our extended family. Our individual family is the example on the small scale.

Spare time can be spent improving the environment for all and serving those where their needs may lie. We need to feel and show the same concern for others that we feel for ourselves and our families by attitude and action, to the extent that our responsibilities allow.

Families give us a chance to grow in consciousness as individuals, by broadening our concept of what it means to be part of the world family. When we feel at One with all we begin to realize the same oneness in all, the One Spirit that powers and guides everyone and everything.

Meditation practice brings us to the center of our being in Spirit and releases the energy needed to interact with our little and big world family. Take time to go within and draw from the artesian well-spring of Spirit, from the energy that is always there when needed to refresh our attitudes, thoughts, and actions in the world.

Blessings, Susan smile
