“Imagine for a moment that every interaction you’ve ever had left behind a thread — a delicate line connecting you to another person.
Now picture those threads weaving through this room, across the city, stretching across the world. You can’t see them, but they’re there — binding us together in ways we rarely acknowledge.”
The Threads That Tie Us Together
Our lives are an intricate web of connections.
Every action we take — no matter how small — reverberates through invisible threads that link us to others.
These threads can create harmony and resilience when tended with care, or fray and snap when neglected or strained.
Amanda will explore how we recognise the interdependence of human lives, and how understanding these connections empowers us to act with greater purpose, compassion, and responsibility.
