Natural Links In a Long Chain of Being

As long as I can recreate these images, 1____________________.
All of us need some grounding in our modern world of constant moving, buying, selling, meeting and leaving. Some find constancy in religion, others in friends or community. But we need some daily signposts that we are not different, not better, 2_____________________.
For me, this house, farm, these ancient vines are those roots. Although I came into this world alone and will leave alone, I am not alone.

The physical world around us constantly changes, 6___________________. We must struggle in our brief existence to find some transcendent meaning and so find relief in the knowledge 7 _______________________.
