The first thought that came to me when I meditated on diversity was: “One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s Treasure” – Yotam Ottolenghi

Someone with mechanic skills can find a perfectly usable car part at a junk yard.

Based on my skills and talents, I create completely differently than anyone else. There is no competition. Even I will never create the same thing twice in exactly the same way.

Daniel said on our call that the root of all evil is boredom. The choice and energy of boredom obviously doesn’t come from God. God, in his infinite wisdom, gave us an infinite array of materials to always have something to create from. All we have to do is just pick our imagination for an idea, and begin.

Thanks Michael for listing off some of the ways we enjoy diversity:

• people we meet
• attitudes of people we meet
• sizes of stars and planets
• the color and quality of dirt depending on where you are
• skills
• mountains and other views
• colors and the combination of them

We are certainly only limited by our own imagination. And I believe our imagination is sparked by inspiration from the one true Source of creation. So, in essence, our creative ability is only limited by our willingness to connect with the great Creator.

Felicia shared the scientific experiment that was done by introducing two wolves into a dying landscape. I was not able to find the specific experiment she mentioned, but here is a link to another story of wolves being reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park, and how they regenerated growth of life everywhere, and even changed the course of the rivers!

Even in the darkest of spaces in earth (caves and the deepest abyss of the ocean), there is life and growth.

The lesson we can perhaps learn from this is that regardless of where we are, or the circumstances we grew up in, there is a place for us to add our diverseness to bring balance. The diversity of human, plant and animal life is not so delicate a balance as we might have thought previously. Instead, balance is the result of just being authentic.

We know that diversity of life is God-inspired. Perhaps, the only thing left is to find our place within the diversity and just be ourselves (as the wolves were), to restore balance.

Today, I Give Myself Permission to Be the Balance Within Diversity

• I honor my differences and I honor the difference within others
• I see diversity and learn from it
• I am living, loving and learning through the diversity of life
• I attract the perfect life experiences for my own growth
• I see out opportunities to inspire growth in others
• I am living in the light
• I create from my place in the world
• I have dominion over my space
