FAMILY

The Family, the cosmic, transcends our realms of humanity.
Your mother
         father
         sister
         brother
         stranger
         lover
         friend
         and enemy
The birds
The bees
The flowers
The trees
All interstellar entities
Everything that lives and breathes
We are all family.

"...it’s hard to remember—that we are not distinct individuals with our own separate problems. The vast interconnection of all phenomena is not a theory. All things constantly rise and fall together like it’s all holding hands."

Everything is Connected by Peter Liversidge

(found here)

Connect.

Truth.

Our ignorance is their power so take every opportunity to make the connection with those around you, listen and learn.
Connections create community. Community helps understanding.
Understanding fuels empathy.
Empathy facilitates change.
