Christopher Hansard:[ We are all Connected]

We are all connected

but some scoff at this

just look at global media,TV and radio

news bounces around the world like a plague

we are all connected,

third world food grown for first world dinner tables

Champagne drunk in Shanghai

Kicking Horse Coffee in Moscow

Canadian Maple Syrup in Berlin

Gossip started in London finds its way to Ulan Bator

we are all connected

there is so many of us

that we can not isolate ourselves anymore

as nations, religions, beliefs or hurt or whole individuals

we harm each other by our individual separation

we breathe the same air, drink the same water

we need to be with each other in order to be our truest selves

and to stand in our own light

as our population grows so do we as individuals need to know the

responsibilities of interconnection and individuality
