We are all related

We are all related

"There is a kind of food
not taken through the mouth;
bits of knowing that nourish love.
The body and the human personality form a cup.
Every time you meet someone something is poured in."
( Rumi )

"Epistomologically, the things we see (people, objects etc) exist only in relationship and, when analysed microscopically, they too are best viewed as relationships. It is no secret in physics that the closer we analyse some 'thing' the less it appears as a thing and the more it appears as a dynamic process (things in relationship). Consequently, relationships become a primary source of our knowledge of the world." ( Conone )

I have been reading and speaking alot about relationships lately and have been struck by how much of who we are is shaped and determined by relationship. We are born as a result of relationship, raised and nurtured in relationship and find our greatest fulfillment in relationship.The quality of those relationships can make or break a life and because we all live in relationship the ' making and breaking' is never just one life.
