One of your best posts Jan! Ultimately, there is no one to can be tethered. To be tethered or untethered is an illusion, because after all, we are no thing (nothing) that IS everything.

thank you, Vince.

We are all connected. I think that's really the point of the post. Whether we like it or not, we are connected. All things are connected. Connection is one definition of being tethered. Ah, but to acknowledge this connection and to embrace the responsibility that goes with connection. THAT- I believe - is living a soulful, spiritual, ethical, richly rewarding life.

Love this piece, Jan! Universal, and incredibly relevant for the period we’re living through —in which the myth of individualism has become utterly distorted.

Indeed. It's a mythology that really needs to die. But as much as it is exposed, some still cling to it.
