God is One, all our lives have various and unique places in the harmony of the divine life.

So far as we live and strive at all, our lives are various, are needed for the whole, and are unique.

And just because God attains and wins and finds this uniqueness, all our lives win in our union with him the individuality which is essential to their true meaning.

There is a divine moment in our lives when we all become one. It's called procreation, and it is reborn, continually and forever.

God too longs; and because the Absolute Life itself, which dwells in our life, and inspires these very longings, possesses the true world, and is that world.

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
