I was watching a movie on television too late last night, and heard the haunting strains of a song sung by Solomon Burke (not related to Edmund Burke, but expressing an incredibly resonant sentiment about how we are all, as Human Beings, part of each other). The survival of our species is not a zero-sum game, or a power play -- it is a collaborative, inextricably interwoven communal play.
Think about it - If I have all of the wealth in the world, and no one to spend it on, share it with, laud it over, or shop to spend it in, what has my ambition wrought me? Seen from another prospective, it only takes one cancer cell or virus to destroy an entire organism. As long as one of us is chains, we are all diminished in our dignity, stature and fate.
The song is called "None of Us Is Free". Click on the hyperlink below to listen to it. And do listen carefully, please. Feel free to forward this post to everyone whom you know. It is filled with a message of great importance, although some don't quite see it yet. It is a revelation of revelations. It is a sad man's observation, but a visionary portent. Listen, before it becomes too late. It is not inevitable -- but it is a warning in the winds of change around us:

There was a sermon written by John Donne, many years ago, which is worth reading. It is referenced by countlesss people in conversations every day -- yet they don't quite know where it came from, and in what context it was said. Sometimes a sermon is a poem, or a poem is a sermon.
John Donne's finest, most inspired sermon...referenced every day by so many people in so many situations, but never given attribution. Donne was a writer, a prisoner, a minister, and an unsung champion of the spirit of cooperation, collaboration and compassion ---
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
- John Donne

No man is an island
No man is an island entire of itself; every manis a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine

- John Donne
John Donne was born in London into an old Roman Catholic family at a time when anti-Catholic feeling in England was near its height. He was educated at home by Catholic tutors. He attended both Oxford and Cambridge Universities, as well as Lincoln's Inn as a trainee lawyer, he never took any academic degrees and never practised law. In 1593 his younger brother Henry died in prison after being arrested for harbouring a priest. Somewhere around this time Donne renounced his faith. He read enormously in divinity, medicine, law and the classics and wrote to display his learning and wit. In 1598 he was appointed private secretary to Sir Thomas Egerton and sat in Elizabeth's last parliament. In 1601 he secretly married seventeen-year-old Ann More, Lady Egerton's niece. Sir George More had Donne imprisoned for a brief period and dismissed from his post. The next fourteen years were marked by his attempts to live down his shame, and to try to make a living to support his growing family, but depending largely on the charity of friends and his wife's relations.
On the suggestion of James I who approved of the anti-Catholic sentiments of Pseudo-Martyr (1610), Donne took orders in 1615. In due course he was appointed Reader in Divinity at Lincoln's Inn and was deemed a great preacher. His wife died in 1617 aged thirty-three after giving birth to their twelfth child. In 1618 he went as chaplain to the Earl of Doncaster in his embassy to the German princes. His 'Hymn to Christ at the Author's Last Going into Germany', written before the journey, is full of the apprehension of death. In 1621 he was made Dean of St Paul's. His private devotions were published in 1624 and he continued to write sacred poetry almost up to his death. Towards the end of his life he became obsessed with death and preached what was called his own funeral sermon just a few weeks before he died.Faithfully,
Douglas Castle
