#47 An Ode to Connection

The social fabric is more than metaphor. It is an interconnected web of energies - that have a direct impact on the people and communities amongst which we live.

The ideas and emotions we hold in our minds and bodies reverberate out through our presence, our posture, our language and our behaviors. They intermingle with and impact the state of others, inspiring our depressing, serving or extracting.

Meanwhile the state of others in return impacts those things that course through us. The community is a communication of subtle vibrations, which affect the wiring on every level of our being. And as part of this network, this fabric of beings, and the reciprocity of that flow of energies, we begin to see that what we put in directly impacts what comes out.

We’re more than just a passive node in the net, we are a living, breathing ode to what it means to be intrinsically connected, and perpetually contributing to something greater than ourselves. 

#41 The Journey with No End

We’re all so unique – different upbringings, accents, experiences and styles. We all have our own story, and that point of difference is also our point of connection.

All coming from somewhere, and going some place else. All with a hope or dream, or at least some desire we’re after, and the inevitable obstacles that seemingly lay in the way of our destination.

The morals and themes of our narratives are different, but they all share the same arc. A fundamental pattern to the nature of existence. The origin, rise, fall and rise again. A wiggling line, wavering up and down, missing the mark time and time again, until it doesn’t, and the old ways upend.

Only to live on in the hearts and minds of those who watched and listened to our tragedies and triumphs, while our souls begin again, on the journey with no end.
