The whole cosmos is a Self-giving of God. And we will find our place in the great dance only to the extent that we love.
~ from CHRIST OF THE CELTS by J. Philip Newell
Just as each soul spark of every living cell in our bodies makes up that which we call our soul, so too do all living souls in the world cumulatively make up part of a universal soul. Indeed, mysticism teaches us that the soul giving us vitality is connected to, and draws sustenance from, a universal soul.
