The roots of all living things are tied together

The roots of all living things are tied together deep in the ground of being, they tangle and embrace. This understanding is expressed in the term nonduality. If we look deeply, we find that we do not have a separate self- identity, a self that does not include sun, and wind, earth and water, creatures and plants, and one another. We cannot exist without the the presence and support of the interconnecting circles of creation — the geosphere, the biosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere and the sphere of our sun. All are related to us. We depend on each of these spheres for our very existence.

By Joan Halifax, from The Fruitful Darkness: A Journey Through Buddhist Practice and Tribal Wisdom

GENERAL DISCLAIMER: I often publish authors whose articles I appreciate while maybe not agreeing with everything. My pieces, also, cannot stand alone. Some of my work contains ideas that may sometimes seem to contradict other pieces because all cannot be said in short essays. It's wise to avoid assumptions based on a few posts. Attitudes have also not remained stagnant over time and the archives reflect the passage of of many years. Some articles contain links to other resources on the Internet. Links are provided as citations to help identify more information and are not intended to state or imply that this site recommends, endorses, supports, sponsors, or is in any way affiliated or associated with any person or entity associated with the linked material.
