Every action is shaping and reshaping the world around us.
I’ve had the flu so here are some inspirations from some other minds on the connectedness of everything. We are here with a purpose. What we do matters. The decisions we make, matter.
It’s like the butterfly effect where the flap of the wing changes the weather halfway around the world. [Andrea Gyorody]
If everyone plants a single flower for a butterfly, what happens next? The revolution can begin with the little things. Everything is connected—you’ll see how quickly it will spread, from you to me to the oak trees. [Desireé Reneé Martinez]
The greatest good is the knowledge of the union which the mind has with the whole nature. [Baruch Spinoza]
Our individual separateness is in a sense illusory; we are parts of the great stream of law and cause, parts of God; we are the flitting forms of a being greater than ourselves, and endless while we die. Our bodies are cells in the body of the race, our race is an incident in the drama of life; our minds are the fitful flashes of eternal light. [Will Durant]
Not everything that happens during the day is an open portending a good or evil development in the future, but everything has meaning to one degree or another, for the world is an ever-weaving tapestry from which no thread can be pulled without destroying the integrity of the cloth. The breadth of Creation makes it impossible for us to step back far enough to see the story that the tapestry tells; the intricacy of it, from the macro to the micro to the subatomic, makes it impossible for us to comprehend the megatrillions of connections between the threads in just one small fragment of the whole. [Dean Koontz]
