nothing in the universe stands alone

In the documentary, “Geography of Bliss,” Rainn Wilson traverses the globe — from Iceland to Bulgaria to Ghana — searching for the secrets to the happiest places on Earth. “The number one thing I learned, to quote a line from E.M. Forster: ‘Only connect.’ It all boils down to finding a community and connecting lovingly with that community.”
“We are in relation. Nothing in the Universe stands alone. We live in one great big web of connections, where every motion affects everything else. The idea that we are independent beings with a free will is an illusion. We are part of a greater whole and, not only dependent on the sun and nature for the air we breathe, but also dependent on each other to feel happiness and to let love flow.” – Olivia Waite, The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics
Affirmative prayer: Today, I open to the beauty of relationships in my life. I give thanks for my soul friends – for each blessed soul in my orbit – and I nourish our communion with my attention, affection, and gratitude. Heart to heart, I reach out. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
