Fear and confusion creates the illusion that we are all separate from our natural world; including each other. Although the world is filled with many divisions in regards to race, religions, cultures and beliefs, we all represent different reflections of each other that all lead back to one. We are all made of the same energetic source that fuels the very physical you are embodying. This piece exemplifies the differences between the natural and physical world while also showing how we all, despite our differences, are the same.
βFor every individual is a unique manifestation of the Whole, as every branch is a particular outreaching of the tree. To manifest individuality, every branch must have a sensitive connection with the tree, just as our independently moving and differentiated fingers must have a sensitive connection with the whole body. The point, which can hardly be repeated too often, is that differentiation is not separation.β - Alan Watts
