Each human enormously important…

A year since the last post and I’m in awe of time. How was it that each day had its unique details and yet almost 365 detailed-filled days have happened? And I can’t even tell you all the details because like most of my dreams durning sleep, I come to know them as fragments when not sleeping.  So what is the take-away from this past year? 

I’ve noticed humanity is moving into its newest identity, which happens over time. We cannot be who we were, if we know more. Knowing more is an aspect of life unfolding. Most of us know by now that the Honey Bee pollenates and their pollination is a driving force in creating the foods we eat (plant and animal). If we tend to the garden we provide food for the Bees and in return we are sustained. We know trees on earth and plankton in the ocean create more than half the oxygen we breathe. In return we exhale carbon dioxide for their well-being and so the cycle goes. We know these exchanges sustain life. We also know humans create in such a way that we’ve been a catalyst for too much carbon dioxide. We know that when the land is hurting, dying from our own hands, if we aren’t already sick, we will be soon. We know we live in a functioning whole system, an interwoven system, in which every aspect effects another. If you cut your finger, it effects how you use your hand and the rest of your body, until healed. We also know when someone shoots another, it is a sickness spilling out. We are reminded if one of us is sick, we are all potentially open to harm. To know everything is an integral part of all that’s here, makes each human enormously important to the health and well-being of everything else—everything included. We’re a system, not simply an individual. I know this new identity now, more fully, than I did last year…
