When a natural disaster occurs and the earth quakes, we are immediately reminded of both our instability and our interconnectedness. It is interesting to note how often we fail to recognize our connection to each other and to the earth until an event or crisis brings us together. Our minds have been trained to focus on what we can see. The problem is that our physical eyes and our perceptions are often limited or flawed. We only see what we can recognize. So if something is going on abroad or in the water or in the air, we may not realize that it is happening to us as well. Many of us treat our bodies and our inner worlds the same way. We assume that the inside is not really as important as the outside until a disease or an eruption occurs.
