Unique- Only When Connected

Yes, human beings are interesting, unique, complex and innovative. But seeing that humans are just one of a gazillion living organisms, we are, most likely and humbly, not overly special. 

That said, what we can access is very special. It’s our consciousness that’s our big gift. 

Scenario: go to a hardware store and you'll see a whole aisle of pipe sections- hundreds of pipe pieces in different widths, lengths and materials. All of the pieces of pipe are pretty much the same, intended for different purposes, but unremarkable, sitting in a pile. Open-ended cylinders. Millions and millions and millions of feet of pipe, scattered in hardware stores all over the world.

Like pieces of pipe, generally speaking, we are all made mostly the same. However, our defining purpose, qualities, and character become apparent when we are connected on both ends: Spirit/God/Higher Guidance on one end, and our earthly community roots on the other end… when we are anchored between two points… what flows through us defines us.
