"We can cure the disease of intolerance. We must do it if the world is to survive. No us. No them. Just we." --Steve Goodier
Pass It Along: A Luthier Shares a Song
The saying "we are all connected as one" is a seeming platitude we have all heard, yet this piece shares fascinating evidence to confirm the truth that we are indeed connected on an atomic level. "Long story short, it turns out that no matter where you go in the world -- Antarctica, North Pole, Africa, you name it -- every meter sphere of air around you contains 50 carbon atoms from each one of your exhales over the last year. That's worth a pause. 50 carbon atoms from each one of your exhales over the last year will greet you no matter where you go on Planet Earth." Fabrizio Alberico shares more in this beautiful reflection that includes a recording and the lyrics to a beautiful song titled, "Pass It Along" that poignantly reminds us of the transience of our lives, out deep interconnection, and the power of generosity.
BE THE CHANGE
The next time you are in a group of other people, no matter how different they may appear, feel the connection you have with them as you breathe and extend silent kindness to each person.
