a nation made entirely of islands, held together by the water between them
Ten islands, one country. No bridge between them — only ocean.
And yet no one there is alone: the sea that surrounds each island is the same sea that touches all the others. Separation and connection are the same water.
Your world is not an island either.
Separation and connection are the same water.
You are where it begins.
The constellation is formed by all of us.
