The Bonds That Bind Us
Thomas Fiffer explores the ways we are bound to one another.
Love, love will keep us together
Think of me, babe, whenever
Some sweet talkin´ girl comes along, singin´ a song
Don´t mess around, you just gotta be strong— Captain and Tennille
Bond is a complex word, embracing different orders of connection.
We can bond by choice.
Or be bound by force.
Our bond can be blood.
Or a sense of obligation.
These bonds are strong, but not the strongest.
The strongest bond is love.
The strongest bond is both voluntary and involuntary and occurs when we choose to accept a call, to bond with another whose energy we are drawn to and to whom we feel we are fully aligned.
This bond is of the highest order because our connection flows from spirit, and we are bound through the drop of holiness, the love of God that lives in each of us.
Attachments driven by need and maintained through fear are not bonds.
