Today's Meditation features Ilia Delio reminding us that even in the midst of all the division we see, there is a "we." She dialogues with Einstein and Teilhard on the evolution of that "we." "Where there is love, there is the quest for life. Ultimately, to love is to see the truth of the other, to see as God sees, to see the whole. Only with the eye of the heart can one see the truth of reality, which is why love is our best teacher."
