"Aspens: Each individual tree can live for 40–150 years above ground, but the root system of the colony is long-lived. In some cases, this is for thousands of years, sending up new trunks as the older trunks die off above ground." Wikipedia.
Some people think that every action, thought or emotion we each have affects the whole of humanity. Perhaps - like the aspen trees which seem to be individuals but are actually part of a common underground root system - we too affect others by our actions and thoughts. What if that is true? Then perhaps it would enable us to consider whether something or someone is really worth getting upset over. If our negative emotions and thoughts spill out like toxins adversely affecting the web of energy connecting us all, then it would behoove us to manage our thoughts and emotions and purposely think thoughts of good will toward ourselves and others. Research tells us that we benefit from nurturing positive thoughts and emotions. Perhaps we benefit others as well.
Today let us notice off and on the content of our thoughts and interrupt and replace any thoughts that do not serve the highest and best for us all. After all, we really are in this together; perhaps more than we realize.
