...................... Yes, We're ... Connected ....................

... the title really says it all ...
... though we lost touch a while ago ...
... first Vipassana Meditation Retreat complete ...
... and it blew my mind ...

... many experiences I hope to write ...
... in a while, for some time to come ...
... today I found this song for you ... 
... plus the lyrics to help you see ...

... have a glimpse of my last 10 days ....
... and see that we're connected ....
... yes, we're connected ...


"Connected" 
Luke Dick 
9/16/12 

While I turn the pages of my book 
Across the world the author cooks 
She pours the wine, while I break the bread, 
Because we're connected 

Roots beneath my family tree, 
Deeper than the eyes can see, 
All tangled up like spiderwebs, 
Connected 

Drums in the darkness 
You can feel the pulse 
First there was star dust 
And now there's us 
All I ever was, 
All I'll ever be, 
Connected 

Can you still hear that cosmic spark, 
Cannons blasting in the dark, 
When we blew out like grains of sand, 
Connected 

Drums in the darkness 
You can feel the pulse 
First there was star dust 
And now there's us 
All I ever was, 
All I'll ever be, 
Connected 

So, pour the wine, I'll break the bread, 
We're all tangled up like spiderwebs, 
And here we are, still grains of sand, 
Connected.


“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.”  -- John Muir

Thanks for the visit Pat.

It's rare to find a song with lyrics that so directly hit the nail on the proverbial head, in this case, mine. Just blew me away.

Fit to a "T" the feelings I had walking around between meditation sessions, out in nature, during my recent retreat. What a gift. To sense this so viscerally!

All the best on your wandering wonderings!
