take good care of your thread...we are connected!

“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


Lately,
I've wanted to live like a hermit recluse,
stranded on my own little island,
listening to the sound of waves ebbing,
crashing,
sitting there,
isolated,
my own little mind games keeping me entertained.
I wonder how long...
how long I'd really be content living this way,
sleeping in my little dark cave,
curled up
keeping myself company--I think I'd be pretty damn entertaining---i'm funny even if off color family does not agree----that is until the philosophical games causes a bit of loneliness to settle over the isolation.

It is not my thread to weave,
but
a loop in a long continuum
of life
that flows back to the beginning
somewhere back in time
at a place a part of us has all been to before
and
that thing through and around it, around all the little pieces,
all the while
 connecting energy flows
fusing us together in a thread that weaves a web throughout time,
and space.

Threads connected together,
twisted around,
intermingled and touching
for that is how
life ought to be lived,
connected
moving,
flowing,
jumping even at times
in places of importance.

connected
what happens to you
happens to me

nope...
island life might sound nice,
but
that is not how it works..
for we
all us tiny specks
us tiny little "whos"
living on earth in :whoville:
IMPACT
EACH OTHER...

pull out a thread
my world becomes loose
grab too much of it
strands break from the inequality....

connected
that is what we are
even on days
we had rather be living on our isolated island.

fellow humans
I'll take care of my little piece of the web...
I hope you do too...

happy Wednesday
and
hugs

Lovely post - I tend to be a bit of a hermit; thanks for reminding us that we are all connected!

so true, it is very tempting sometimes to just be an island- but yes, we are all connected and we all have a place and we touch so many lives, sometimes without realizing how much we really matter.

I don't think we appreciate how very connected we are! What I decide to do somehow affects another, which then ripples out to another...

Great reminder.
