A Web of Connection...

Sometimes we feel alone, or lonely, but, it's just not true. Even if you are alone in a room, there are all those others you have encountered in your life who are with you still. None of us are isolated on an island. We are all connected via a wide-ranging web of slender tendrils. We all embody a life of experience and memory.

"I am a part of all that I have met."  - Alfred, Lord Tennyson - 1809-1892

We are lucky to know other people. Some of them are our "better angels," some of them are our "demonic angels."  Most of the us encounter a healthy allotment of each.

There are no "self-made" Human Beings. That is a ridiculous, and frankly pernicious idea. We are all in it together whether we want to acknowledge it, or not. Really, that is just the way a life rolls out. Connected.
