WHAT CONNECTS US?
I to you
one to another
we are connected by lines on a map:
the flight-paths of innumerable birds
each annually reaffirming
its three-dimensional map of the world
– a map whose principal features are
perching-places
drinking-places
feeding-places
meeting-places
nesting-places.
Highways, railroads, cities are of no significance.
Borders
watchtowers
guard-posts
barbed wire
immigration control:
these are meaningless.
The lie of the land
the angle of the sun
the mood of the sea
the cast of the wind
the set of the stars:
these are significant.
We are connected by a web
woven across the years
stitched across the sky
binding us together
one to another
I to you.
Ama, in England, recipient of book no. 63 which has now flown to a village in the mountains of southern Spain.

I think we are connected by our: desire to give, but our greed, our need to be accepted, but our speed to judge, our passion when loving, and the intensity of our hate.
