The most abstract elements of our lives are still tethered to the natural world from which they've evolved.

Our most ethereal dreams brew in the electric goo inside our skulls; our collective virtual world propagates in the ever growing web of wire, tower and satellite wrapped around our earth.

Tether (definitions):

1. tie (an animal) with a rope or chain so as to restrict its movement.

2. use (a smartphone) in order to connect a computer or other device to the internet.

It may seem like to be tethered is to be limited, but connection creates safety, stability and reciprocity. Through thoughtful and reciprocal connections we build strong webs. Through being grounded, our dreams might reach the stars.
