I am connected to all living things

At this moment, I am a part of something much greater and more valuable than myself.

I am connected to all living things on the planet.

I have a duty that goes far beyond meeting my own needs and desires; instead, I see myself as part of a much wider and grander plan.

We are all connected to something larger than ourselves.

When I close my eyes, I see the gossamer threads connecting all living things.

I see the way in which I am connected to the birds, the trees, the rocks, the Earth, and the oceans.

I see my connection to other humans around me, animals, insects, and even the soil.

Everything is connected.

I understand that these connections are a blessing and recognize them as true privileges.

I also understand that I am responsible for the way I treat all living things.

I take ownership of my choices toward the world, the animals, the creatures, and fellow humans.

I choose to extend love, light, and compassion in all I do and to offer forgiveness where needed.

I protect the planet, and it, in turn, nourishes and protects me.

Today, I appreciate my connection to all living things around me, on the planet, and in the wider Universe.

Rather than choosing to be solitary, I am always a part of something greater, and I sense the power and freedom that comes with this.
