A friend of mine just sent me this link of a 7 minute slide show about people around the world. They are from the depths of the world we don't normally see. What I loved about it is the perfection of the photography, the colors, the beauty of the various places, the way people painted up their faces, the way they dressed, how the water stops in mid-air, that what was daily routine for them is what we would never think of.
As the photographer says in his narration, every one of them is just looking for shelter, love, community, food, safety, sharing. These are the needs of each one of us. By connecting to these needs, we can have compassion toward them and each other; we can be reminded that everyone is connected, everything on the planet is connected. We are all part of the same greater spirit living inside us, wanting to take care of all our needs, comforting our feelings, being heard, being taken seriously, being taken care of, taking care of others. All these actions affect others, and the connection of our actions live on in the actions and thoughts of others.
Hope you enjoy the show.
