Interdependence Gives So Others Receive

INTERDEPENDENCE GIVES SO OTHERS RECEIVE

In human societies,

Many congregate in groups,

Family, community, associations, nation states,

Linking belonging, shared interests, identity, ideas and biology,

In a common unity,

For community is the unity of the commons,

As the commune shares what is in common,

Where each participates in shared communion,

Ploughshares are the only shares that cultivate,

Common unions advocate strength in numbers,

For independence is isolation,

Interdependence gives so others receive,

And sharing is the gift of nature.
