On the blink ~ Brexit and the rest

So all free movement has come to a halt. Petty little Brexit assuming it would be independent and in control, rather it’s a miniscule and even pathetic drop in the ocean when the world is seen from above.

Whatever our differences and there are many no doubt, be it among the same people or that between different cultures, we are nevertheless one world, with countries separated only topographically and by imaginary borders to be caved into or to try and overcome.

With airlines cancelling flights here there and everywhere we stare disconnection in the face and our global predicaments are clearly seen as shared. We become dysfunctional through our pretentious platforms of sovereignty. We all walk on shared soil, we all breathe shared air, we all have an innate desire to be part of a family, a community, and with that, part of humanity.

There is no comfort in being cut off. There is no reassurance that being cut off is within our control. There is no respect for our humanity when the world we wish to live in turns into a jungle of every man for himself.
In short there is no refuge from whatever we are meant to endure.
There are only lessons of acceptance and forbearance to our existence.
