I vividly remember Diane and I visiting the California Giant Sequoia groves in Yosemite National park. They are massive and purportedly the largest living things on planet Earth. From what I read about these majestic giants, their root system is not known for going deep. Interestingly, it’s not the depth of their root system that keeps them alive through fire and storm. What keeps them alive so long and growing so tall is the fact that their root system spreads out to their closest neighboring redwood trees and intertwines with them. It is their ability to connect and intertwine with each other that keeps them living long and prospering. Ryanosuke Satoro said, “Individually, we are one drop. Together, we become an ocean.” Whether our drops form an ocean or our roots stretch out to hold a redwood fortress together, unity is and always has been a miracle. True unity is not natural; it is supernatural. We naturally do our own thing. We naturally look out for number one. We naturally put our own interests first. It doesn’t take much effort and we’re all really good at it. Unity, on the other hand is miraculous!
