No need to be an island:

Some thoughts on social isolation in honor of John Donne

There is no need
to be an island

We are never
completely alone

We are merely tiny drops
of a giant ocean
whose borders
are more vast
than we can ever know

Rea:	The hard fact is that is we are always alone.
Mǐn:	I think it is a matter of perception. In mysterious ways, seemingly contradictory statements can both be true.
Tǐng:	Indeed which "truth" we see depends on our perception.
