Are We Connected?

I think part of the trouble there, for people is not just in thinking that thoughts are as real as objects. But i think even under that, or above it maybe, is that people have trouble a sort of linking into the fact that we're connected to the world picture. I also think, though, that because, you know, whatever happened in china or italy or wherever could have some bearing on your own life. And so yes, there might be material, political ways to sort of look at the situation. That's but our thoughts and our feelings are also woven into what comes into encounter us and what comes into being.
