Unity of All Things by Patrice Federspiel

A paradigm is an underlying thought pattern shaping the world in which we live. Often we’re not even aware of its presence. Whether we like it or not, our world is currently going through a paradigm shift of epic proportions.I’m depicting this shift in terms of the complementary colors Orange and Blue. Complementary colors placed side-by-side make one another brighter. When mixed together, they dull one another down and turn to “mud.”
When we only see our differences, we miss our similarities. Awareness gives us the opportunity to shift our focus and to look for the things that unite us. Threads of similarity unite us, no matter how many fences we erect to keep us separate and “safe.” We are far more similar than we are different. - Patrice Federspiel
