Our search for conection ..

When we consider how big and small and unknown the world is, according to everyone who has ever said they know the answer, they know the truth, we become uncertain. That's fear .. of being alone, of maybe not being ok. But when we make simple connection with another living thing, we release fear and feel love. Look into the eyes of someone, or an animal or look and feel a plant, and don't try .. just connect. For a second. For an hour. For however long it takes. How powerful it is to reach out and touch! To physically connect! Even more powerful the sensation of connection when we hold, gently, softly, and feel the fragility, with tenderness, with compassion, without intention or need.
