Heart of Oneness
a little book of
connection
Jennifer
Kavanagh
Our
screens and newsfeeds are full of violent images; our world is full of
poverty, inequality and injustice. We find it hard to live together, in our
families, communities, or in the world at large. At the same time, we are
surrounded by the beauty of the natural world, and daily life is full of acts
of compassion, kindness, friendship and love. How do we reconcile these
differences? What does the universe, with its countless examples of
mutuality, have to teach us? Science, religion and our own experience teaches
us that the whole of creation is a web of interconnectedness. This book
explores the oneness at the heart of existence - and what this means for how
we act in the world.
