You are not alone............

 

 

You are not alone

although

this may be how you feel.

 

You are connected

and many are the ways.

 

 Through breath;

the air you breathe

is the same air that gives breath

to all that is alive.

 

Through words;

all of us humans use words,

some sung, some written,

some read, some spoken.

 

Through our senses;

 we connect through the smell of a blossoming flower,

the sound of rolling thunder,

the taste of the sweet and the taste of the sour.

 

Through what we see;

through our eyes we have instant access

whether from near or from afar;

life unfolding; from the smallest plant to a shooting star.

 

Through being alive;

you are connected to the earth upon which you walk;

you and all creatures;

from the biggest of the big

to the smallest of the small.

 

You are not alone,

you are surrounded by life,

some of the human kind,

some of the flora and fauna kind.

(Citizen X)

 

"Humankind has not woven the web of life.

We are but one thread within it.

Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

All things are bound together.

All things connect." (Chief Seattle)
