In basic Euclidean Geometry, there are many principles.
Stay with me now.  I promise not to go all hypotenuse on you.

In very simple terms…. one of those principles includes the fact that any two points, any where in space as we know it, can be joined by a straight line.  Real or imagined.

This can be applied to many functions of our lives.  Think about it.

Consider any two points, any where.  They could exist in the room in which you sit… the earth… the universe… space which goes on and on….  and on.

Those two points can be connected by a direct line.
Two people.   Two beings.  Two inanimate objects.

Hence the phrase …. its a small word after all.
There is a line connecting all of us and everything.   Life lines.  Maybe we should take care of one another.

Me…. and you.
