Interconnectedness of All Beings - Lean on Me Tree

This reminds me of two large Living Oaks I spotted on my run this AM. One had fallen into the limbs of the other. The trunk and its roots were almost all the way out of the earth, but it still lived - both hundreds of years old. Also, there are many other plants depending, literally living from these trees - vines, moss, and even a saw palm lives in the lap of one of them - great example of interconnectedness!
Here is collage of supported falling tree: I call one tree Leaning and the other Lean on Me

Hózhó

The Navajo believe the world to be an orderly place filled with interconnected objects all existing in a state of balance and harmony. The bedrock of th...e Navajo religion is the concept of Hózhó, which means a combination of existing in a state of balance, harmony, wellness, peace, and completeness. A sort of integrated oneness, with the universe running like an incredibly finely adjusted watch, with everything seamlessly working together. It is a complex concept that is remarkably similar to the Chinese Tao.

The simplified translation of "to walk in beauty" trivializes the complexity of Hózhó. For the Navajo, Hózhó is everything, and when it goes awry, the orderly universe is disrupted and must be restored to its natural order. The issue is not one of aesthetics, as beauty is, but a fundamental characteristic of existence.

"When there are obstacles to joy, peace, and health, see solutions flowing through the ley lines and waterways. Once your awareness is one with the heart of the earth, you actually feel the draw of the trees and the rising springs and are ...drawn to those moments in which individuals make momentous leaps of understanding. At this point, you recognize the human condition is also the condition of the earth and galaxy and that all are interconnected."
