"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 feeling as something separated 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." -- Einstein
So nice blogger
ReplyDeleteWe're all part of a vast Indra's Web's worth of entanglements and interconnections, which I discovered more deeply as I researched the Butterfly Effect for my novel The History of My Body. We mirror, inspire, call forth, and seed one another other constantly. Your wonderful wedding of heart with mind is a constant delight, Miss Whistle. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHah! And I guess my unconscious wanted the importance of "the other" to be emphasized, as I wrote the word twice in my previous comment. The message really is: we are not alone!
