A thought on human connections

The most important perhaps, or the biggest lesson I will ever have learned in this life, that we are all a part of this web.  I was told this by a very wise person, who shared her own experience in this realization.  That we are all here, together, even if we don't always acknowledge it; we are all being in whatever way happens to float our fancy, whether it's to be the horrific driver who almost rams your car on the freeway or the person chewing you out even though you are a mere customer service technician and you didn't make the policies, or especially the sweet old lady who just wants someone to talk to, so she goes on and on about her life story, and your sitting there, twiddling your thumbs, hoping this transaction comes to an end soon, because now a line is forming and your shift ends in 15 minutes.  No matter how many of your co-workers, and loved ones piss you off to no end, you reflect on the positive from time to time.  Those moments that you share together are precious, and, hopefully, make us better human beings.  To digress, I feel that I haven't fully understood this concept of connection until more recently.  Perhaps there is a higher power at work, easing us in directions so that we might 'bump' into people, have those interactions, and be changed from them.  Being in the right place at the right time; the stars align; fate brings us together in mysterious ways.  Whatever you wish to label it, I feel it may exist, that it would be a world changer if more people embraced this concept.  I am personally so grateful for all of the people in my life; the ones who have come and gone, and those that stay close to my heart.  You are all beautiful and important to me.  If I could shoot beams of love light from my body and send them off in thousands of different directions, I'd send them to my family, my friends, my dear ones, and even the terrible driver - because maybe they will pay better attention next time - to the angry customer - because everyone has a bad day.

I know it's tough, to feel this way all the time.  It isn't human, really, to always be so zen.  But maybe we can be more, to one another, to the planet and all of it's life energy.  That's my dream.

Love,
