Thank you for hearing what I'm trying to get at here. When I've tried to explain the concept of interconnectedness people just roll their eyes and change the subject. They'd rather talk about what's on TV. Which is fine, I excuse myself (or otherwise escape) and return to what I was thinking about. To have a place to express this, and be understood, and receive response? I'm still in near disbelief. I'd reconciled myself to a very isolated life. That seems to be changing, at least in mind. Grateful.
