From Carl Hammerschlag, more on connection

Our civilization has encouraged us to be independent, self-steering, goal-directed.  Be your own person.  Do your own thing.  But sometimes we feel weak.  Sometimes we feel human.  At those times, we need to know that we are connected to those who came before and to those who will come after us.
