invisible strings

I get daily quotes sent to me by email and this one really captured my attention.

"When you tug at a single thing in nature, you find it attached to the rest of the world. "
— John Muir

Can't you just see the invisible strings?
I'd love to do an art piece based on this quote.
I imagine a little boy wading in a river picking up a rock and I'm seeing the water still connected to the rock, seeing the strings of sand running all the way back up the bank to the trees roots and then up the tree trunk, out the branches to the leaves, which are connected to the birds flying over head, which are connected to another tree further down stream et cetera et cetera...

Fantastic. What do you smell? What's on the wind? What time of day? The sun is high, or low? The picture you've painted, with your words, is beautiful, a story to be told.
