Let's adopt the 3 III: Interrelation, Interdependence, and Intentionality

I’ve been thinking about interdependence and living with intention and what that all means to me. The Beauty of Living a Life Driven by love, purpose, and Community is a delicate poem on romance. Everything in life from friends, families, pets, food, art, gatherings and what have you is highlighted by the romanticization of life. You’re looking for beauty and celebrating what you have already—no small thing is less important than the big ones. How does interdependence come into all of this? Well, we already have such an intimate and interdependent relationship with ourselves. The celebration and intentionality of that is romanticized in so many ways. For example, our bodies rely on us to fuel them with various sources of delicious foods, to then use said foods as nutrients to give our body energy. Interdependence in relationships is giving mutual support and the space to be vulnerable, communicate, provide individual contributions, and share responsibility for each other’s well-being. Plants and animals are paramount to the way interdependent relationships work with ecosystems and mammals. The one commonality that allows us to coexist so profoundly is interrelation. To love is to be intentional and to be intentional means to be interdependent in order to survive. We’re networks of veins like plants with roots. It’s all a poetic and metaphorical analogy reinforcing the notion that survival is about connection.
