Life on the Line: We Are All Connected

By Marilyn Costanza

Have you ever felt lonely or disconnected from people and the world? Life on the Line seeks to help you realize that you share a connection to everyone and everything in the universe and that there is no reason to ever feel alone again. Life on the Line contains a varied selection of quotations from sages, scientists, scholars, spiritual leaders, and artists regarding the interconnectedness of all things. You will see that all philosophies and religions and even quantum physics recognizes the interconnectedness of all things. Dark matter, string theory, Eastern and Western religions, and the philosophies of the native peoples all speak to it.

Marilyns photographs of clotheslines, taken from a wide variety of countries throughout the world, display this concept of interconnectedness. When you see a clothesline, there is an immediate connection, because all humans experience the activity of laundry. Although each clothesline is unique, like the fingerprints of the person who hung the clothes, the underlying activity of laundry is immediately understood. The photographs contained in this book help you visualize the interconnectedness by showing you that from the USA to Easter Island, the human condition connects us all to each other.

Life on the Line will offer you an opportunity to reflect on the interconnectedness of all life during our experience of planet earth.

The Human Condition.

What images come to mind when you hear the term the human condition? Results of a survey performed by Yahoo.com revealed that the majority of people voted on the following definition: The human condition encompasses all of the experience of being human. As mortal entities, there are a series of biologically determined events that are common to most human lives, and some that are inevitable for all. The ongoing way in which humans react to or cope with these events is the human condition. However, understanding the precise nature and scope of what is meant by the human condition is itself a philosophical problem.

There are certain activities common to all of us as humans sharing this earth experience. These activities connect us to each other. Mention them to another and there is an instant connection, an instant understanding needing no explanation. We immediately relate and understand because it is something that we all
