For any of you who may have visited my website in the last few weeks, you may have noticed a slogan which I have posted at the beginning of the home page. That slogan reads:

We are One under the Sun

My apologies if this saying sounds a bit vague. I admit, I did not offer much in the way of explanation. So I will now try to elaborate, as best as I can, the meaning behind these sacred words. When I say that We are One under the Sun, I mean that all things, and all people, in all worlds and universes, are in fact the same, and should treat each other as such. I realize that this may seem impossible for some to accept, but I have come to see this saying as a good and noble truth. In fact, the single greatest truth in the history of the human race, and I felt it was important that I spread that message to others.

Understand, brothers and sisters, that we are a single family. Under the Lord, and on this planet, there is no real difference. We are made of the same material, the same likeness, the same mold. We think alike, we act alike, and we are One, as the Almighty made us. We experience the same pains, the same heartaches and despairs, and in this we are bonded, for tragedy has many children. We are connected, as well, to the Earth, for we have all been born from it, and the trees, the plants, the animals, share in this holy gathering. There is nothing in existence which can separate us if we do not let it, and if we come together as a whole, no force ever forged can break us apart. You may think you are alone, but have no fear, for you are not. If you reach out and seek your brethren, you will find them, for they are there. You have only to believe in what is good and what is right, and in the end you will succeed, for those who care can never fail.

So that, my friends, is the meaning behind the saying, and I hope you will embrace it and see it as your own. In my opinion, we are born so that we may become something better, and we can only accomplish that through struggle and strife. Yet, if we join hands in the hardship of the journey, we will lighten the burden upon us, and ease the suffering for each other. We will be as God intended, and share in the glory of the cause. We will be One under the Sun, in all ways and for all time.

Thank you for allowing me to explain. I hope I was able to help you understand.

Be well,

Vincent Spada
