Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.
Albert Schweitzer

We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.
Herman Melville

It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tired into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly.
Martin Luther King Jr.

I miss that feeling of connection. Knowing he was out there somewhere thinking about me at the same time I was thinking about him.
Ranata Suzuki

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
Oh when darkness comes
And pain is all, is all around
Simon and Garfunkel, Bridge Over Troubled Water

Here come old flattop, he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
The Beatles, Come Together

Forrest Gump: Feather Theme, Tina Guo

Yes John, especially when you think what a small rotating ball the earth is in this endless universe/s.

And there is also the well known John Donne poem, "No man is an island entire of itself..."...a profound and beautiful creation, John...love the design and how it all 'connects' so smoothly and naturally and the color scheme, with the varying shades of red and blue and the rainbow portion and how they all blend so nicely...yet, at the top, the one lone 'figure' connected but separate...so true of humanity and your piece and accompanying quotes accurately portray that...great work...faved!

This fabulous post (render and quotes/'poem') has it all, John!

S+F instantly. Thanks, 👍!

PS: the music video isn't available in my country. YouTube has chosen this alternative (Crystallize by Tina Guo (Lindsey Stirling Cover)) for me.

The quotes leave me speechless sometimes, oh if only these thoughts and words were viewed by the masses more often, so inspiring. Your artwork is ethereal, the colors are so vibrant, it's like there is a light bulb behind my screen, striking and very original.

I can totally relate to this. BTW: Someone should hook up Yo Yo Ma and Tina Guo. They would make a good duo.

Also known historically and from the avian world as the "Atomic Flatulence of Turkeys." Sorry, John, it's been a day that screamed for humor.

Happy Trails
