Impossibility of Unaffected Systems

Please try and convince me how you are unaffected by your environment

I implore you to say that your housemate doesn’t impact you

Or that a sore throat doesn’t affect other parts of your system

The point is that it is all one

Oneness at its finest

Sometimes I’m the mouth and you’re the hands

Sometimes you’re the brain and I’m the feet

It’s all systems

Systems of unity

That we cannot deny no matter our attempts to believe

Our individuality is the premier feature of our humanity

When in fact it is at the crux of our separation from truth

So maybe, maybe for today

You can think of how your anxiety may not be your’s alone

And maybe the grief of the earth in her crises does hurt your heart

And maybe your empathy is your greatest virtue to

Reconnect with this truth

All is one
