Just a quick note on Connection today. Here is how I see humankind:
We are bazillions of creatures on this Earth, but we are all part of the same organism. Each person is like one cell of the human body. It takes all of us to make this organism, Humankind, thrive.
Since we are all part of the same, we have the ability to affect each other. Sometimes some people-cells turn cancerous and infectious and cause pain and suffering to the whole organism.
This system-wide pain can cause an all-over depression, where sadness and despair reign and we live in darkness. Been there, done that, during the Middle Ages, aka the Dark Ages. Let's not go there again!
Since we are all a part of the one, we can choose to affect each other in positive ways, which I like to imagine as Light. Think of shooting a bright white light out the crown of your head and see it burst like a firework in the night sky, creating a spiderweb of sparkles. Then imagine all those around you shooting their own lights which connect and mingle with yours. Even those who are unable to project their light because of extreme circumstances (war, illness, hunger) will be touched by the sparkles of light that fall toward the ground.
When we treat our bodies with good nutrition, regular exercise and meditative practices, our bodies respond with health and vitality. Treat our World and all its inhabitants with love and kindness, and the World will respond with joy.
Light the skies.
