RE: The Search for Meaning and Importance... Does it Matter?
I am so moved by what you shared.
My father died 7 years ago from liver cancer and it's been a huge hole in my heart ever since. I remember feeling that strange sensation of MY world stopping and yet everyone else was going about their business like nothing happened. How could they not feel the terrible shift in the world. Ahhh... but if I keep on about it I fear I may start to cry and the burden of being a living legacy to my father, and my beloved aunt, sometimes seem too heavy.
Thanks @merej99... these moments ultimately teach us perspective, I'd like to think. I have learned that what happens in my own circle has the potential to be huge and life changing... and indeed everything can stop... for hours, for days, for weeks. And yet? I am but a tiny dust mote, floating in an immense universe that-- as a whole-- will probably never see me. And yet? Within that immense universe are an almost infinite number of fellow travelers whose individual and personal circles represent "everything there IS," to them and yet they are not more or less seen than anyone else.
Whoa... didn't intend to go all philosophical and deep on you there... but I think you might be getting my drift...
It's truly inspiring what all of those little specks in the universe can create :)
