What is the best example you've come across -- whether in nature, narrative, or something else -- to describe #3: how we are more interconnected than we think?

Here's an example below:

1/ "While wandering around Montgomery Woods, we happened upon a solitary tree standing in a clearing, covered in bright green moss & bathed in light.

It felt special, and I started thinking about what circumstances led to this wonderful scene that we found ourselves in.

2/ On the surface, it seemed random: what are the chances of a tree getting totally covered in moss in this beautiful forest and getting bathed in light just as we arrived? And then I thought about what could make an opening in the forest canopy:

3/ Perhaps the tree had grown old & started withering, +as it shrunk, it opened up a space for light to filter down. The light that this tree let into the forest would make a great place for moss to grow, w plenty of light, a moist environment, & nutrients drawn from the tree.

4/ And I thought that maybe this wasn't some crazy coincidence at all, but beautiful confluence of connected circumstance. And it made the experience even more beautiful."
