We dream that we are
unique individuals with
separate lives and experiences;
but dig a little deeper,
and the separateness disappears.
We are not independent
of the world around us ...
we are an integral part of the universe,
and our sense of being apart from everything
and everyone else is in fact an illusion.
I appreciate how this invites us to look beyond the surface of identity. Sometimes what feels most separate is quietly held together by something much larger than ourselves. Thank you for this reflection.
