Interconnectedness of Life

Native American wisdom about the interconnectedness of all life


Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

My thoughts:
Whatever I do I must make sure my actions and thoughts are with logic, reasoning, science, an open mind, feeling of and need to be connected with society to gain tolerance and learn not to be indifferent, which develops a newness of faith/essence to inner being... bringing all sides (and other levels) together before acting upon anything in haste. These are but just small fractions of des colores. How one looks at a prism and interprets the colors therein and out as light refracts is a precious thing never to misuse.


I was once told never to pray for patience because once one did so, trials and tribulations and going through the fire to be refined would be the process of gaining patience. Well, I still prayed for patience and what was discovered.... Patience really is a virtue.

What "thread" am I... or shall I ask what color fragment of the prism are we all? Looking beyond gray is a beautiful element of expanding the mind beyond the mere small part we were told we could use.

Favorite quote of the day:

Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice.
But for those who love, time is not."
