Connection Is:

connection is the feeling of your skin against mine after a long and tiresome day. the space in between the inhale and the exhale during meditation. crying together in the car listening to our favorite song way too loudly. a table full with laughter between a group of friends who accept each other. the soul pouring heart to hearts that keep you on the phone for hours after you lose track of time. watching the sunset on the beach and remembering who you were with the last time you watched a sunset. watching the sunrise and remembering who you were with the last time you stayed up through the night to watch the rays of light gently kiss the flowing waves. connection is remembering.

connection is the raindrops meeting the earth and disappearing deep within its roots. connection is the life in the air when you reach the mountain tops. connection is the peace in the air when you rest in the mountain’s valley. connection is worshipping together. connection is serving together. connection is doing the work together. connection is “me too”. connection is “I hear you”. connection is “I understand”. connection is when eyes lock under the night sky and you feel your thoughts aligning.

connection is knowing you have been here together before not that many lifetimes ago. connection is a story as old as time. connection is the draw you feel to the fire. the moon. the clouds. the butterfly that gracefully glides by moment by moment. connection is how the people come together. culture. community. compassion. connection is the past meeting the present meeting the future. connection inspires awareness. connection prays for love. connection understands everyone could use a little more love. a little more grace. a little more forgiveness. connection understands that you and I are one.
