If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you come to understand that you're connected with everything. That every little insect who comes buzzing around you is a messenger. And that little insect is connected with human beings everywhere else. You can hear: you become incredibly sensitive in your ears and you hear far-off sounds. And just by the very nature of isolating yourself and getting quiet, you become intensely aware of your relatedness to everything else that's going on. So, if you really want to find out how related you are, try a little solitude off somewhere, and let it begin to tell you how everything is interdependent.
Alan Watts
