As human beings, we have forgotten how to not only exist upon this Earth, but with this Earth. A tree breathes what we exhale. We breathe what the tree exhales. This gives us a common destiny with the tree. We are a part of this Earth. We are not separate from it and we are not separate from this universe and whatever magnificent force may be out there, but we are a part of it. Modern mythology may tell us that we are lesser than it, but that is a myth used to control the masses..we ARE it. But, we have forgotten. We have evolved technologically and devolved spiritually and look where it has taken us. It has taken us into an age of nuclear weapons where one detonation will wipe out entire cities and leave the shadows of its victims forever etched into some dimension that we cant comprehend, its led us into a world of man made religion where faith means nothing and we are scared to even question what television tells us is true. When is the last time you planted something? When is the last time I planted something? When is the last time you sat outside and really meditated on the fact that your dna is the same as that around you and you are a part of your atmosphere…not some separate being that exists only within the confounds of social norms and corporate cultural machines. Love, live, learn, and exist with what you are.
I wanted to add that you also do not simply exist within the confounds of what you think you know to be true about this universe and the many realities that exist within it. Do not be afraid to learn. Knowledge is power, knowledge is INFINITE and to rob yourself of it is the greatest injustice you could do yourself. Be Scholarly.

Great reflective post. I think the Orange Oprah and Black Oprah even, for that matter might have some competition ;-D But seriously I especially liked the example of planting things… Literally getting to the root of things and moving upward.

I haven’t felt that sort of connection since I ate magic mushrooms months and moths ago.. hahahaa.. but it was there. It’s hard to take it all in when so much bullshit is going on around us, but you’re right… we should take the time to do so all the time.
