Who really knows. We are on a huge rock floating in space. I do know that what makes our human connection so special is love. True love for ourselves and for others. Not just the people that are closest to us, like family, friends and neighbors. But the people that we see walking down the street or the people we will never meet.

When we are locals to a community, we take pride in that space. We treat our neighbors with respect and kindness. There is an accountability to “our” space, we keep it clean, joyful and inviting.

What if we all thought of ourselves as locals of this earth and truly took that in. We would treat every part of this world and all the beings in it with love and respect. Lets be curious.
