− | I see [[humanity]] as a [[family]] that has hardly met. I see the meeting of people, bodies, thoughts, emotions or actions as the start of most change. Each link created by a meeting is like a filament, which, if they were all visible, would make the world look as though it is covered with gossamer. Every [[individual]] is connected to others, loosely or closely, by a unique combination of filaments which stretch across the frontiers of [[space]] and [[time]]...To feel isolated, is to be unaware of the filaments which link one to the past and to parts of the globe one may never have seen.[http://herrylaw.blogspot.com/2007/04/history-of-intimacy.html] | + | I see [[humanity]] as a [[family]] that has hardly met.
