Meaning
This reads as a compact statement of belonging at several scales at once, from human life to matter itself. It can be taken to mean that separations we feel are partial, because our bodies and lives are tied to one another and to the physical world in ways we usually overlook. It lands in moments that call for humility, care, or a broader sense of responsibility.
