We’re all earthlings.  

“There is a strange interaction between this planetary body we know as our home, rising up above the horizon of some other planetary body in space. Even now, I look at that and I’m like, “That is the who and where we are.” We live on a planet; we’re all Earthlings. The only border that matters is that thin blue line that blankets us all. That’s undeniable when you look at that image. It’s that kind of connection we want to make as human beings back to ourselves.”

The truth is, we are all earthlings. We are all connected. It’s our job to protect the most vulnerable, the most hurt, the most persecuted people, against the anger and fear that enforces borders around who we are and where we belong.

We’re not all that different when we’re broken down to our core building blocks; we have the capacity for love and hate, for creativity and mundanity, for joy and sadness. The difference comes in the actions that we take, and the things that we do to each other.

In the loneliest hours of the night, it’s easy to feel that there is no connection left to the rest of the world. But I can promise you, as long as you choose to wake up the next morning and take one single action that will help, nurture and protect the people who need it - you’ll always be connected to me.
