bonded

the imagination will tremble greatly over the clarity of connection. not in fear or from shear power, but from gratitude. the mind needs the share. never deny it when you feel it.  do not shy from a true connection. do not turn your back on it. do not give up on it.
 
the reality that exists, by context, by will, by convention, may not be ideal, may not be "best" or favourable, but that does not give excuse or waiver to abandon it.  because "it" is part of you. in abandoning connection you abandon yourself.
 
it may be said there are levels of reality.  levels - in that we have human laws, we have our emotional attributes, scars, importances that may conflict, resources that are limited; but we are human and not only are we resilient, we are adaptive.  adaptation can be used to comfort and hide but it can also be used to thrive and to push the limits of those boundaries we each have.
connection with one another is important; valuable; life saving.  we thrive and survive on being a social creature.
it is our nature.

i continue to push forward through my own muck's past, the clogged arteries of connection.  atrophy continues to fail on itself but i still have much to grow, even in that light.  i will never stop growing because there is never an end to connecting- sharing- learning- teaching- observing.  i am audience to the world - to the continua. 

i will not give up on my connection, of the people and elements i feel for, of those i feel are right, important, and true.
