Within

"Feel the hidden waters of the Spirit trickling through all material life ... feel the divine bliss of Spirit within you and all things." Paramahansa Yogananda

30 years ago George Lucas let Star Wars loose on the world. There was a great deal of philosophizing about the Force and the light and dark side of the Force. Obi-Wan talked about how it surrounds us and binds us all together. Carl Sagan in his pioneering show Cosmos talked about how we are all made of "star stuff." Many religions talk about the spirit and how it is in every living thing.

No matter how we want to define it there is something that does in the end make us all interconnected. What happens in one part of the world affects what happens in another part of the world. A sudden freeze damaging citrus crops means that the price of orange juice will go up in other parts of the country. A tsunami in the Pacific will affect the lives of people who had family and friends visiting there. It will move hearts towards generosity to help the victims. The emissions we pour into our air will affect the climate elsewhere when we damage our ozone layer.

We are the world and if we start thinking globally rather then provincially we could accomplish a lot more in terms of making life better for everyone. The picture is called Stellar Nursery.
