The Pulse of Humanity

A group of friends on their way home after a day spent in NYC.

Friends are simply wonderful. They make life more exciting and they make you feel like you are a part of something. You feel connected.

Imagine the entire world, connected. Friends.

I had a dream the other night where every single human being on this planet held hands and encircled the world. People came together, and we were connected. Then, one person squeezed their neighbors hand. The pulse traveled the circle and traveled the people. As they received it, they became humbled and highly aware of their connection with everyone else. They did not all know each other, yet they were all friends. This pulse erased all sense of separation within humanity. Finally, it reached the one who started it and I woke up, equally humbled and equally aware.

Imagine the power of that pulse.

That pulse does not necessarily have to take place in the act of holding hands with the rest of the world, as it did in my dream. That pulse can take form in the act of friendship and kindness and well...that pulse...it's pure love. Each act of love creates an endless chain of reactions which somehow, someday, will come back to you.
