Can you feel me?

Learning about flowers and how they know, sense, when bees are in their vicinity and how they enhance their perfume as an invitation to pollinate has been an unexpected gift. Also learning how trees intercommunicate and feed and help each other through illnesses confirms my lifelong suspicion that everyone and everything is interconnected. We appear to inhabit a sentient planet, which exists within the confines of a sentient universe. Facts proven by science that confirm what philosophers have been writing about for centuries. We can never become too wrapped up in our ego, whose only purpose is to limit and define us as something other than what we really are. By allowing these ego/walls we miss out on our connectivity. Everything is somehow connected. Greek philosophers spoke about this at length. My flesh is connected to your flesh. Our flesh and the breeze the touches us are connected. Sunlight and moonlight are real and made of matter the embraces us us even while we sleep.

I keep seeing images of microscopic creatures. As I look closely I notice that they all have eyes. Different eyes but nevertheless eyes that accommodate their needs. They can see. We are more similar than we are different no matter how hard we try to deny it. Knock down the ego walls that confine you and try connecting to all sentient being that surround you.

As members and components of a sentient universe our connectivity is real, here and now. While exploring these thoughts it occurred to me that I could try to expand my personal energy and attempt to embrace the entire planet. Well, why not? Lock me up for thinking. So I image that my arms surround the planet and everything within it. My aim is to offer comfort and try to dull the pain and fear that exists. Animals waiting for their fate in a slaughterhouse, I hug them. Babies, struggling to leave the womb. I hug them too. I try to flow and become a part of all of these events and help what little I can. Do you feel me? I wonder.
