Maybe we are all helplessly a part of something always greater than one individual but we don't always 'feel' it? I was going to start a new thread because even though it's been six and a half years since my only son passed away, I think about him often and last night, I wondered why is it that I can go to a cemetery and look over the endless people who have come and gone, and yet my son is far more important than ANYbody else in the whole wide world? This morning at the restaurant, I watched as a family ordered their food and couldn't help but wonder about all these individuals and yet we maintain this separate idea of 'us' in the universe.

It's just those niggling existential questions that pop up in our heads that keeps us from 'feeling' that unity that really is undeniable - yet we cling to our individuality...maybe.
