Description

Many of us have heard the phrase 'The Ties That Bind Us.' What an interesting thought for us to have. We could ponder this for quite some time and never lose interest. What could this mean? There are so many possibilities to be sure. Are the ties the relationships that we have with our families? Are the ties the relationships that we have with our friends? Are the ties the relationship that we have with our co-workers and our jobs? The possibilities of are endless. I would like to think that it means that we are all a part of a greater whole. That within each of us there is that certain something that links us to one another. Recently I saw a video that spoke about the quantum level of particles. Now I don't really understand it all, but the video did give me some ideas for processing in my mental computer. At the most basic level there is a possibility that we are all linked in some fashion. Now that is interesting. However, at the metaphysical level we are all a part of that One Great Cause. How we perceive this unity is up to us, but I would like to think that somewhere in the far reaches of the universe there is a nesting place for our Oneness. I imagine that in this special place small particles of our Oneness gather and nest for periods of time. Slowly and surely they will begin to co-mingle and soon we will not be able to tell them apart from one another. Dreams are wonderful because they allow us to experiment with new ideas and possible outcomes. So could it be that the ties that bind us are metaphysical? Perhaps they are. And perhaps this is our opportunity to take those silken ribbons of faith and lace them together. After all, we just mind find that we will expand our souls because we dared to venture into a new way of thinking. The ties that bind us are silken and soft and flow about us ever so loosely. Perhaps one day we will be able to see them. Now that would be a wonderful adventure to have. How divine. How simply divine. Our thought for the day is: I am only one, but I am the one. Within me is the seed of my greatness and I plant that seed so that all of the world may see it.

Beautifully created, as are your words! Tremendous work with this image, it looks stunning, and so many interlocking shapes and patterns that all seem to “bind” together to form a “whole”. You are very right, and sometimes I question whether that tie is really a metaphysical one; and still cannot come up with a definitive answer… but perhaps that is something that will remain unknown to us, as we have yet to discover as human beings.  Great work, my friend, and most lovely expression in every way!
