Tree of Existence

This image came to mind when a friend once told me about an unpleasant experience she had and asked me in a confrontational manner, how people can create such conflict with each other if everything is love. I tried to explain to her my thoughts about this. I told her that she is love, and that I believe that she can express herself in a near infinite amount of forms, and whichever form she choses to focus her attention on is the form that she will experience. She seemed more puzzled after this conversation than before it. I've never been able to express my thoughts through words, so I tend to just stay silent in these types of discussions. When we stop seeing one another as separate individuals and rather, see everything as the one grand experience, the tree, we can begin to choose which part of the tree we want to experience because then we are no longer limited to the bounds of the leaf we are dealt.
