    “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.”
	- William Shakespeare 

This quote by Shakespeare speaks to the interconnectedness of all living beings through their shared natural essence. It suggests that a felt experience of ‘nature’ can transcend perceived cultural, social, and species boundaries. Nature, in its raw beauty and presence has, when given a particular kind of attention, the power to evoke universal emotions and stir a sense of commonality among beings. It offers a potent reminder of the fundamental bond that connects all living creatures. Irrespective of our individual backgrounds, ideologies or beliefs, we are all part of the greater tapestry of nature with our pulsing sensing animal bodies.

    Meaningful Quotes

    Connections occur in many different ways. Never underestimate the power of our intimate connections in ways both seen and unseen – in manners both logical and full of sense, purpose and meaning, and in ways magical, strange, or coincidental.
