Now about boundaries...

I have been thinking a lot about boundaries, especially in light of what I have named this blog.

While we all live within boundaries, are they real and where do they come from? We have all seen pictures of the earth from space and we know that there are no "lines" marked that indicate counties, states, provinces, regions, countries, etc. Yet, we all live by those "invisible" lines, don't we? (Just think about the last time you travelled outside your own country if you believe those lines are not real.)

And then there are the boundaries between us and other people or between us and all other beings or objects, animate or not, that share this planet. There are physical boundaries and emotional boundaries. Are there also mental and spiritual boundaries? Are any of these boundaires real or are they all imagined?

Do we define our boundaries or do we let others do that for us? If we define them, what does that say about us, our belief systems, our connection? If we don't define them, what does that signify for us and for others?

What about your boundaries? Are you in this world or is this world within you? Are you in your body or is your body inside whatever you are truly made of, that eternal part? Do boundaries even exist?

I have been thinking about boundaries lately...
