Dear Baby … I stare down at your tiny little features and am amazed by the uniqueness of you. But while I know that each fine little wisp of baby hair is individually yours, I know that you are part of a greater whole. You might not look like the other babies playing at your daycare or living on your block, but in a way, you are all alike. You are connected by something none of us can see. Whether you are growing up in Pittsburgh or Peru, every child, in fact, every person in this world is connected. Whether you grow up praying to Allah, praying to God, or not praying at all, you are tied to every individual on this planet. You see, we are all a part of humankind. We all make a difference. We all matter. And even though you seem tiny and helpless, as you grow you will recognize your connectedness to others in this world. Today I celebrate the Oneness that connects you and I and everyone.
