That is the premise of Pangea Day, an event that takes place globally this Saturday night May 10th, on- and offline.

I got an email about Pangea day - and it touched me.
Go to the site and watch the video/trailer. Or view it here, on youtube. Essentially it is a global event that takes place next year on various sites (think live earth etc) but shares films and music of the world - about the [...]

I have been thinking about this poem a lot the last few weeks:
“As I dig for wild orchidsIn the autumn fields.It is the deeply bedded rootthat I desire,Not the flower.”- Izumi Shikibu, Japan (974-1034)
