Connections?!

World, today I would like to share a story with you all. Sometimes, I randomly tell my brother some stories because he's that kind of person: the one that just sits there and listens. He swears that he doesn't have conversations, that it is people who talk to him (I say otherwise, we have conversations brother!!). Anyway, the story goes like this:

There was once a young girl who was trying to find her place on this earth. Neglected by those around her, she found what she most needed in the strangest place. One of her teachers, one that she swears was on drugs half the time, had her class do an assignment on something they believe in. She chose to write about love (maybe this will be another story).

Because the class had to present, the teacher went first. He had light, sea green eyes that seemed to pierce your very soul and salt-and-pepper hair that charmingly went down above his shoulders. Lanky, with a straight smile, he chose to talk about the connections we have with people all around the world.

Now, this young girl was thinking the whole time, "Man, this guys is nuts!" Little did she realize that there was some extreme wisdom behind those simple words.  That now, years later, she would look to thank that teacher for such wise words...

This is what I wanted to share with you all today. We are all connected. I may know you and you may know me. We may have been lovers in a different life. You never know. But never on this earth are we ever not one. All for one, one for all.

Once, a young boy told me, "We are all different and we are all human." As crazy as it sounds, if you think about, it is a rather humble thing, to equalize us just for a moment. So bathe in this moment, breathe it in, swallow it, allow it to engulf you. We are in this world together. And even when we are apart, I know that you, somewhere, exist.
