We all felt confined and isolated in more than one way recently as limits have been imposed and restrictions forced us to delve into ourselves and consider what world we [want to] live in. 

Each one of us has a unique set of experiences shaping our personality and therefore, reality, but we all share that same reality even though we each see it from a different perspective. 

Our eyes might not lie but our perception will always be a small fraction of the whole and as long as we interpret the world with our body we'll be limited by our senses and stuck in one of the polarities sides.

To release from this narrow vision, we must expand behind our material and conscious self, welcome and forgive our shadows, open our heart's eye, and talk the language of unconditional love through kind gests and meaningful actions.

Each of us is enclosed by this physical limit, staring at the other as if separate but if we can envision humanity as one being, we understand how we are all interconnected just like the cells and organs in our body. For this to happen we need to understand that our skin might be waterproof but is not a wall, it might hold us but does not define us, it might constrain but also lead us to the closest intimate contact with another. We ought to learn that borders are not only what divides us but also where we meet, just like our differences are what complements us. 

Like the line drawn by the water streaming between the valley or the ocean that keeps continents apart meanwhile joining them, our skin is both a border and a bridge between the self and another.
