"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main."
EQ NOTE
Donne imagines humanity as a landscape where each of us belongs to the same whole. That can be a comfort when we feel alone, but also a responsibility: what happens to another person is not wholly separate from us.
Belonging does not require agreement or constant closeness. Sometimes it begins with remembering that our lives touch, even at a distance.
