Intertwined Fates……………
…………………………. Being Connected

Oft times we may feel disconnected from the world.  Our actions seem like they are of no major consequence, and we may feel like we exist in our own vacuum. Yet, the truth is that our simplest thought or action - the decisions we make each day, and how we see and relate to the world - can be incredibly significant and have a profound impact on the lives of those around us, as well as the world at large. The earth and everything on it is bound by an invisible energetic connection between people, animals, plants, the air, the water, and the soil. Insignificant actions on your part, whether positive or negative, can have an impact on people and the environment, that ‘seem’ entirely separate from your personal realm of existence. Staying conscious of the interconnection between all things can help you think of your choices and your life in terms of the broader effect you may be creating.

Think of when you’re buying a simple humble wooden stool. I read about this recently & was so inspired. The wood was once part of a tree which is part of a forest. Some person was paid to cut the tree, another to piece the wood, and yet another to build the stool. Their income may have had a positive effect on their families, just as the loss of the tree may have had a negative impact on the forest or the animals that had made that tree their home.  An encouraging word to a young child about their special talent can influence this person to develop their gift so that one day their inventions can change the lives of millions.  A poem written “merely” to express oneself can make a stranger reading it online from thousands of miles away feel less alone because there is someone else out there who feels exactly the way they do.

Staying conscious of your connection to all things can help you think of your choices in terms of their impact. We are powerful enough that what we do and say can reverberate through the lives of people we may never meet. Understanding that you are intimately connected with all things and understanding your power to affect the world can be the first step on the road to living more consciously.
And living consciously demands living each moment Unselfishly and with compassion………..and above all, GRATITUDE!

I am in gratitude this moment for having each one of you to share this with………

My love always

SCHERRY.
