Sometimes I imagine that below the surface of our lives there is an internet that supports our lives above. Not a computer internet, but a spiritual internet. The souls of the trees and bugs, the alligators and the quail, the seals, and the humans and the jellyfishes and clover are shared. We're all one. With the relationship between our distinct lives above and the wholeness of the soul, we find it safe to sleep, easy to breathe, to live happily. We respect all forms of life. When one species becomes extinct, we all are affected. When we kill for fun, destroy forests for 'progress', or slaughter fish for food and then waste what we harvest, the soul suffers, and we weaken the warmth and security of the great and benevolent spirit that cradles us all.
