cosmic is about CONNECTION
Cosmic is about connection. It's about living consciously and conscientiously
with an awareness that everything is connected.
Connectedness is the rich web of inter-being that inspires and enables our flourishing.
To name just a few connections that count:
We are connected to the stars that formed the elements that form us and our Earth.
This counts as a source of belonging to the universe.
We are connected to the plants and other animals of Earth through the reciprocity of breathing, the cycles of life and death, the mutual recognition of the life force.
This counts as a source of purpose: to be and become within the whole community of life on Earth.
We are connected to each other in the coded memory of cells, collected into our particular species.
This counts as a source of kinship.
“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
