“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.”
~ Herman Melville
I was thinking over a few things this morning, and as I settled into my most favorite chair on the farthest corner of my garden patio.
And, as I watched the steam rise in brilliant swirls to greet the crisp morning air ~ I couldn't help but to think over all of this world's 'connectedness.'
From something as simple as watching the steam rise from my mug, I am reminded of the million and one simple things that bring us all here together as one...
We humans are a curious sort, always wallowing about in our loneliness ~ but, how can we feel so very much alone in a universe that insists upon our connectedness?
My dears, “just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean"
so, too, must we always remember that we are a most integral part of all that which surrounds us...
Because, my most beautiful friends, in the end ~ we are all, very much, 'connected.'
