“What does it take for one single body to exist? – It takes the entire universe.”
Adyashanti.
Nothing and no one exists on their own. We are all part of the ecosystem of life. We are born through our parents bodies. We can’t survive without loving relationships and connection.
We need each other. Too much isolation has been scientifically proven to affect our physical, emotional and mental health.
We can and need to strive for a level of self reliance and independence yes, but no matter how independent we might become, we are still dependent on everything.
We are dependent on the air we breathe being clean.
We are dependent on our liver function and our heart continuing to beat.
We are dependent on the supermarket being stocked, the truck drivers delivering food, the electricity and internet operating, the sun and the rain.
We are dependent on the honey bees to pollinate our plants and food, the trees so we can have a liveable planet, the mycelium to feed the soil so the trees can grow…
The list is endless.
The entire planet, in fact the entire universe and everything in it is interconnected.
