like so many others, i’ve gone in search of this:
We are none of us alone
even as we exhale it is inhaled by others
the light that shines upon me shines upon my neighbor as well
in this way everything is connected
everything is connected to everything else
In this way I am connected to my friend even as I am connected to my enemy
In this way there is no difference between me and my friend
In this way there is no difference between me and my enemy
We are none of us alone
i found it here. and what amazed me was, while i’ve thought of it from time to time over the past year or so, i didn’t realize till just now that it meant i’ve been watching life since well before my new life started. wow.
