To paraphrase scientist Richard Dawkins: the blessing is that you are. Out of the countless possibilities that could take form, the universe became you. If being itself is a blessing, how are we to be the blessing that we are? Rev. Rob Hardies poses this as the challenging question: “How am I blessing the world?” “To bless is to invoke wholeness.” In a time of divisions and separations we can start being more of the blessing that we are by reaching out and making connections and bridging differences with our neighbors and other beings. We can start as poet John O’Donohue titles his book, “To Bless the Space Between Us.”
