“Connectedness”
‘We are all connected in a circle, in a hoop, that never ends.’‘Colors of the Wind’ Disney
this is one of my favorite quotes.. it reminds me of what a small planet we now live on.. how being connected by the internet brings people across the earth together to share pain and joy…
in all communities i have ever lived, the desire to live pain free is predominant..
when we do a small thing that offends another, it carries ‘on the wind’ to the next person and so affects them and then to the next, and so on and so forth… this is called ‘collective consciousness’…
it is a great power we each have to affect the planet positively or negatively….
how will you use your power today?
While this is true, there is a greater power at work. It is the Love of God and the indwelling of His Holy Spirit.
Practically the whole world is connected by the Internet, but Christians are connected by the Holy Spirit. He leads us in ways that can sometimes not even be expressed in words alone. He binds us together in love, joy and obedience to God’s holy ways.
Where the author of this post says “when we do a small thing that offends another, it carries ‘on the wind’ to the next person and so affects them and then to the next, and so on and so forth…”, the Holy Spirit infects us with His love, joy and widsom, and that, too, is “carried on the wind” from one person to another.
As for me, I’d rather my source of this love, joy and wisdom be the Holy Spirit rather than to depend on my own mood any given time or day. What comes from Him is perfect.
