I erased them. When you strip away those hard, final lines, the horizon opens up, and you stop seeing the world in "us versus them." You start seeing the circle that includes us all.I’ve always had a heart for people from every corner of this life—from the man sleeping on the concrete to the high-roller spending thousands to celebrate a milestone in the clouds. We think we are all so different, divided by our religions, our races, our sects, and our status. But we are all walking the same roads, just on different paths.To understand where that clicked for me, you have to stand with me on Fremont Street.The neon was buzzing overhead, a kaleidoscope of artificial light competing with the desert sky. I was walking, watching the faces pass by—each one carrying their own measure of morality and rascality. I was thinking about life, about the rhythm of creation, and how a tiny fetus has a heartbeat just twelve days after conception.Twelve. It’s a number woven into the very fabric of how we measure our existence. Twelve tribes of Judea. Twelve disciples who followed Yeshua. Twelve months to a year.

God is vastly bigger than the pages of any Bible or holy scripture, yet miniscule enough to fit into a man’s heart. And that heart is He Art. It is the canvas where the divine begins in every single person created. We aren't divided by lines. We are all breathing the same air, bound by a geometry we didn't design, moving toward the exact same destination.And right there, standing on the asphalt, the weights fell off.I realized then that God has my steps calculated, and always will. In a single breath, fear, worry, and doubt completely left my life. For years, there had been this background noise—an underlying urge to run, to hurry, to escape whatever was chasing me or whatever I was chasing. But looking at that street sign, a stillness took over.A peace that surpassed all of my carnal
