“It really boils down to this, all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
—Martin Luther King, Jr.
with every breath and step on the pilgrimage today, i’ve been contemplating how we all best serve the whole… i believe the bedrock of this query is understanding that all our relations prosper only when we realize we are part of a greater whole and our survival, our sustainability is intricately linked in the same way we are intricately interconnected to every thread in the web of life. It is, always has been and always will be a story of cooperation. Just as all the 70 trillion cells of my body cooperate to make me work, so must the 70 trillion cells to the 70th trillion power cooperate for the cosmos to continue expanding…
yes, Martin saw that the will to connect is our most essential impulse and how what affects one of us, affects everyone of us and how could it not since we are one body-mind-spirit-soul made up of trillions of cells to the infinite power…
since every thought, word and deed affects all our relations, may we all walk in wonder, saunter in awe as shepherds, as lightkeepers, as sheltering arms, as beloveds as we all walk each other home…
