If God dwells in each person, then I wonder if looking to others, if continual, insistent conversation and prayer and worship in a community might guide us toward that essential piece of our being. If we might learn best who each of us individually are when we are more concerned with being part of a group, say, part of the Body of Christ.

This is inspired by the fifty-sixth chapter of Julian of Norwich's long text, Revelations of Divine Love.
