Ssss. Hi, I'm Andy and welcome to Radio Headspace, and a Thursday morning.
Yesterday I was having a chat with a friend of mine, and he's far more, should we say, studious than me?
I mean, he just gets through a lot of books.
I aspire to that. I'd like to read more books.
I just don't feel like there's a whole lot of time right now to do that.
Anyway, he was telling me about a book, and I'm ashamed to say I don't even remember the name of it.
You might have heard of it.
It describes this underground world where everything is connected on the planet, where trees are connected, plants are connected.
Essentially, everything is talking to each other in its own sort of way.
As he was telling me, I said, oh, I know exactly what you're talking about.
I haven't read the book, but I was watching the Magic School Bus with my six-year-old son, and actually they were talking about it on there.
I feel like I downloaded a lot of information at the right level in about five or 10 minutes by watching that cartoon.
But it's a genuinely fascinating concept.
So even a concept is real.
It's something that happens.
For example, if a tree is not getting enough water, then the other trees nearby will give up some of their water so that that other tree can have more water.
If one tree is struggling in one way, it will communicate with the others and the others will try to feed nutrients towards that tree.
Essentially, a sense that everything is shared and that everything is connected in some way.
I like the idea that we're not so different as human beings.
We are all interconnected.
Our mind, whether we like it or not, there is a connection that happens.
It's around us everywhere we look in nature.
Sometimes it's underground, we can't see it.
Sometimes it's on the surface, and we can see it.
It's really easy not to notice those things.
It's really important that we do notice those things.
Because if they're not at the forefront of our mind, then we forget about them or we take them for granted.
Every time we notice them, we are reminded.
And in being reminded, it reinforces that sense of connection.
It reminds us of how we're not isolated in the world, how we're not separate in the world, and how ultimately we are all part of the same thing.
And that may seem sort of a bit philosophical in nature, but actually the reality of it, of connecting with another person, the people we know, the people we care about, and also the people we don't know, the people we may not care about.
That has a real outcome, a real result, not just for ourselves, but also for those other people.
So I thoroughly recommend one that you check out that book that I can't remember the name of, but it's all about how trees talk to each other underneath the ground, or you check out the magic school bus.
Well, they give a really, really good six-year-old explanation for what it's all about.
And remember, we're all part of the same thing.
So be kind to yourself, be kind to those around you.
Have a great day today. I look forward to seeing you back here tomorrow.
