…how is it that we even stand apart then to observe this?

“When we try to pick out
anything by itself
we find that it is bound fast
by a thousand invisible cords
that cannot be broken,
to everything in the universe.”

John Muir

It isn’t that this is not true…it is that in the middle of this truth, we at times find ourselves utterly isolated and alone, even while connected.

Why is that?
