Single Body

Single body: 

all aspects of a single body, and only thought to be apart in anyway, separate in belief alone. That we are the earth and atmosphere is without deny, being elements, minerals, all somehow given human form. As well we are designed to draw air, a literal breath of sky brought through and released in vital function to not only ourselves but to nourish plant life through our exhale of carbon dioxide. In this way we are interdependent with forest, plants, and grassland, and all belonging to a greater body still. 

from first existence as life we were of the ocean, singled celled to more complex life forms evolving through the water's depth, a womb of continuous development until a final reach for land. Even now we carry the ocean through our veins, blood being mostly water, plasma with salt and ions in similar to measure to the sea. The ocean is our life blood still, connected as a single body, an influence of climate, rain, and air to the continuation of our existence. 

earth is indeed our body, yet more, and further still...

we are the universe as well.

with an ocean through our veins we are tugged by moon's gravity, our smaller tides in ebb and flow to its call, a single body shared between us. At our most subtle level we are particles of starlight, a continuation of the Big Bang brought to our own individual, unique conclusion. At no point are these particles ours alone though, we are a shared existence, our own molecules are made of atoms that have shaped the dawn of time, belonging to the original release of light from the exploding singularity that gave cause for the universe to expand. 

our reality is of endless structure, release of form, and emptiness for life in rearrangement. It's all a single body, creative by its own design. We believe ourselves to be much smaller than we truly are, as well we are lost within our own self-importance, confused by our seeming separation from the world. The truth is that we can find place where our bodies leave off and the universe begins. Our reach is immediate to the stars, intimate to its touch of air against our fingers. We are of a single body, aspects of the whole shared in benefit for the creative continuation of its expression.
