Least Connected is how I feel when all the rushing to duties
removes the possibility of time to steal a chat, a smile, a hug or a look.
Most Connected is how I feel when the friend that I'm thinking of digits
are on my caller id blinking.
Least Connected is what happens when my life has lifted,
out of my hands and placed within reach of someone that would be happy to see:
me pushed, shoved and locked into their controlling, cold, dark closet.
Most connected is what happens when walking down a November street -
a resturanteur friend I know shouts, "Hey Tara come in, relax and take the world off your feet.

Connect and Release.
Connections that teach me how to live are the ones that I keep.
Most connected is the "Wow" moment when I realise
that the people that try to confine me
are really the helpless captives in disguise.
Isolation and division break the foundations of a plan.
Purpose, excitement, encouragement and vision
help me to stay focused and stand-
when others refuse to see the connections before them
they miss the Promised Land.
Inhale
Exhale
Connect and Release.
Connections that teach me how to live are the ones that I keep.

That truth, which I often forget, is so liberating. It also gives me so much compassion for someone who is a thorn in my life.
Thanks for sharing! And Mentos fountains are pretty fun, aren't they?
Compassion is the key isn't it? I'm really trying to hold on to compassion like my loaf of bread.

Remembering to breathe it all in... sometimes it can just be the familiar smell of home...or of autumn leaves...or cold snow...
I find that sometimes the above is all I need to send me back to earth and feel grounded...
