Connected

 Individuality, if it means a sense of disconnect, is not a good thing.  If we are going to become who we are truly meant to be, it will include a sense of connection, a deepening connection with the world of nature and people around us.  We can be living in solitude but we will still sense this connection with others, with our world and even parts of the world we have never experienced first hand.  We develop compassion,  a sense of being present to what is going on in the here and now, be it on a bus or a walk in nature.  People in recovery are reaching out more to newcomers as part of this growing into becoming their better self.  It is a world of non-duality rather than over and against.
