I woke this morning, aware of interdependence.  What freedom there is in that.  I’m not here by myself.  I’m supported by trees, air, breath, you, me.  We don’t do this alone.   We live in support.

Br. David Steindl-Rast:

The challenge before us is this: to treasure and preserve the independence given to us and learn to integrate it in an all-embracing interdependence.
