A neat poem, mounting up step by step to the epiphany where it brings home the lullabylike peace.

Connections in all instances have their own relationships that make them interesting. It is a question of picking them out for oneself!

From family ties to the world around us, we’re connected. I like how they’re sharing what is theirs as a community.

Like the rings of a Tree this travels outward and like the ripples in a pond has no end. Wonderful.

Thanks for a great prompt, Paul! If interested, I added a video of a ministry that works alongside communities worldwide 🙂

I feel this as an ever wider circle of community… truly that’s how it is, from our closest onto nations.

Your comment inspired me to switch order of final two stanzas…the community of believers transcends even nations.

Nice use of the words “connection” and “blood” in different ways.
