Fires up in Canada
Have forced my plans to change.
It’s really most annoying
But it’s also rather strange.
It proves that we’re connected
In some ways we may not like
And there’s no way to prepare
For when more bad effects will strike.
I would have thought that distance
From the blazes raging there
Would have saved us here from breathing
That unwelcome awful air.
But that thinking doesn’t follow
Since, much more than I’d expected,
The world is shrinking and, for good or bad,
We’re all connected.
for some it takes a terrible event to realize we're all connected. for others it might take one hit of lsd to realize this, for some it might take a lifetime of spiritual study. or meditation. and for others (most?) they never realize it at all. in judaism there is the concept of 'ehud' (one) so the sages knew it all along...
