We Are All One

 Although there are days in which we feel that we are alone, there is always someone that is connected to us in some way. We may believe that everyone stands alone, but at some point even they are in need of help. It is this need, this interconnection that we have for each other that binds us together. We are not as invidual as we may think, but we are tightly bound by our need for each other. Our world would not exist if not for our relationships with each other as people, communities, and countries. It is our interdependence that keeps us all strong. We are all one, and that one is us. Today, is a day to celebrate. Knowing that you will always have someone to support you whether you have met that person or not, will bring you comfort. As you help others, you will receive in return.
How many people does it take to grow this garden...
 
(This taro patch looks so easy to maintain, but it takes many hands to keep the plants flourishing. Everyone works together to keep the water flowing and the plants nourished. The end result feeds so many within the community. I can't imagine growing such a well maintained garden. I guess we all have our speciality, that's why we are interconnected. I think it's best, otherwise if I was assigned to the gardens we would starve.)
