When I hear this quote, I think of my own nuclear family and my extended family. But I also like to think of being a part of our great big human family. We are connected too.
I also like to consider the words theologian Paul Tillich used to describe our relationship with
one another and with God. This is not an exact quote. It's the way I sometimes like to think of us all connected...
We are all rooted in The Ground of All Being.
The nature lover in me appreciates this image.
However we picture God and family, let's appreciate and celebrate our roots and connectedness.
With love and joy,
Charlene
