The Connection Of Islands (Poem)

Lest you say,

“I am an island unto myself,”

Remember that an island is so

Only because of other factors:

The waters that surround it and the land from which it is formed.

Should you think,

“I depend only on myself,”

Remember that your very birth was a result of others’ interactions.

We are inextricably connected to all that is;

No-one nor nothing happens in isolation.

Consider this and realize therefore

Care for oneself includes care for all.
