Are We Only a Strand?

As I look out my window, I hear the sounds of traffic and see some birds flying south above that neighbor who is a pain in the, well, in the southern  regions. And their tree that is developing multi-colored leaves. I’m reminded that today I will see even more, including a variety of people doing a variety of things, and I’m reminded of this saying, which I present to you as today’ Thursday Thought.

 

        THIS WE KNOW…

                                                                       

   The earth does not belong to man…

man belongs to the earth.

   All things are connected like the blood that unites one

family.

   Man did not weave the web of life… 

he is merely a strand in it.

            Whatever he does to the web he does to himself.
