Folk #1: Two statements, not backed up by proof or data, just my own very personal 'lived experience."
Everything is connected.
Everything counts.
You may not see the connections, but they are there. You may not think every tiny act accrues & accumulates, but, yes...
It may all seem a bit spooky, mysterious, unsupportable, unexplainable. Assume you know nothing, it's a good start, and from there, you inevitably find yourself going to "I wonder what's gonna happen next?"
It's actually a quite great way to navigate the Universe. You realize you don't always need to know, you can't know the unknowable, and that's okay, you just need to live, truly, madly, deeply & fully; heart, head, spirit aligned. Plunge in. Open-hearted, open-minded. Not always easy, but that's the human project.
