## "Humankind has not woven the web of life. ## We are but one thread within it. ## Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. ## All things are bound together. ## All things connect." #### (Chief Seattle)

![page-divider.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPP9iNGaZBScnL3xt7b9nt76m9aFRMuHYyPoYc8tkjFHR/page-divider.jpg) And so it is in the webby ecosystem of our life. Our work touches our shopping touches our soil touches our meals touch our moods touch our relationships touch our health touches our conversations touch our experiences. **All of the links are real,** **AND THEY ARE ALL THERE.** The more sensitive and perceptive among us... "the canaries in the coal-mines"... we have always felt these links. We sense The Connections deep in our bones. https://media.giphy.com/media/4VEAg0IWR7gNa/giphy.gif ![page-divider.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPP9iNGaZBScnL3xt7b9nt76m9aFRMuHYyPoYc8tkjFHR/page-divider.jpg) And when we are too timid with our Fire of Knowing, **WE ROAST + SIMMER FROM WITHIN.**

### *And then, we become Phoenix.*
