An island, as separate as it may feel, as vast the distance between it and all else, is as firmly connected to the whole as any other landmass. You are a part of a whole, a consciousness of all humanity for which provides a reflection of the inner-self. Change the internal landscape and watch as the island begins to move, grow, and shift in any which way as you have desired. Input = Output. Inner work = outer work. Effort in = leverage out. It is then quite perplexing to take ‘offence’ from some context or wishful attribution of a persona. For the exact thing to which can pose such a reaction is merely a reflection of self, for else it would leave you, like the cup in the forest, in peace. That which ‘frustrates you’ or brings out an energetic expenditure is a sign that something needs work and introspection upon.

Meditate.
