we are each other's destiny

and that is why "I must return to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky..." John Masefield

 

I would say that there exists a thousand unbreakable links between each of us and everything else, and that our dignity and our chances are one. The farthest star and the mud at our feet are a family; and there is no decency or sense in honoring one thing, or a few things, and then closing the list. The pine tree, the leopard, the Platte River, and ourselves — we are at risk together, or we are on our way to a sustainable world together, we are each other's destiny. Mary Oliver...

 

and my friend and I, who share destinies, will sit here - and there - and talk about Mary Oliver's passing and the ocean's language and the deep silence of shared destinies...
