b'A talk and meditation on how we are all connected. based on poem i wrote
I have a connection
with the morning star
and when I watch it from afar
I sense it\\u2019s presence in the light
it\\u2019s essence reaches my heart
in recognition of what we are
\\xa0
I have a connection
with a myna bird
who comes in the morning
and sings me a tune
with sounds that bring a smile
from a tree that holds secret clues
\\xa0
I have a connection with a Kiawe tree
that shades the place I do yoga
from the suns intensive reach
as it grows so large where we meet
\\xa0
and the tree knows the bird
and that star across the sky
and the earth knows the tree
and palm trees nearby
\\xa0
we all are connected
though we might not know why
but what each being does
under these heavenly skies
is part of a greater whole
that\\u2019s all connected in life'
