As #MeisterEckhart put it, “what happens to another, whether it be a joy or a sorrow, happens to me.” Today’s #science fully endorses that statement of #interdependence, insofar as interdependence is seen as a “law” or habit of the universe.

The photos I see of the area show no other trees.
That absence seems a far greater vandalism.
The other thing I'm seeing is the extent of our #InterDependence and #InterReliance.
One person, like Trump or this kid, or a small group, like the Brexit organisers, can f**k up things we hold dear.
