A few years ago, I was introduced to a term from quantum physicist, David Bohm, called the “holomovement.” He coined the word to describe a dynamic and unbroken totality that underlies all of reality.
I often think of that unbroken reality at the quantum level when I see it at play in the waves of our social fabric. Quotes like these below also illustrate our interconnectedness:
“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.”
―Chief Seattle
“Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
―Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“To harm nature is to harm yourself. To care for it is to care not just for yourself, but for the entire universe.”
―Michael Bassey Johnson
“You see, in this magical tapestry, threads of myself are intrinsically woven within the seams of all else. I cannot help but marvel at the complexity of these interconnections.”
―Lavinia Busch
“Every piece of you holds the whole—not as poetry, but as fact.”
―David Maze
These quotes show the intrinsic understanding of quantum physics: everything is connected to everything else. There is no such thing as separation. Literally, our lives depend on how well we treat this glorious Earth and each other.
It is with this deep interconnectedness in mind that we ask for your financial support of UPEC – the only organization in Utah working at the intersection of population and our environment.
As 2025 draws to a close, please make a donation, of any size, to support the work of UPEC. All gifts matter. All contributions make a difference. Donate online here!
Your financial support helps us maintain our website. In the last 90 days, 1400 people visited UPEC’s website. This demonstrates that the website’s content of research and blogs are meaningful to people in Utah and beyond. And in 2026, your donation will help us host a Speakers Series that will be focused on the dynamic relationship between population and the environment.
Now and in the coming year, please hold tight to each other. Be generous with your love and affection. Find ways to take better care of the Earth. And express gratitude daily for the spectacular planet that carries us through the Milky Way at 500,000 mph.
With love and appreciation for my quantum connection to each of you,
Susan Soleil
UPEC Board Chair
