Some years back I took a cooking class. The instructor was rather funky. She drove a beat-up Volvo that was completely stuffed with so much shit I wondered how in the hell she managed to see where she was driving. She was a matronly 'hippie' complete with the flowing, rainbow colored garb and long beads. Her hair was unabashedly salt and pepper pulled back in a bun. I'm sure at one point, in her younger years, she was a Dead Head -- typical Northern Californian.
During the cooking class, and completely out of the blue, she announced she had an epiphany. She realized she was everything and yet nothing. She realized the vastness of the universe and how insignificant she really was, but at the same time realized how our small part plays an important part in the collective consciousness of mankind. We are all everything and nothing at the same time.
For whatever reason, this woman's 'epiphony' has resonated in my thoughts for some years now.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
Those that can wrap their essence around that thought ~ shall go a long way towards maintaining the illusion while stuck here this time around.............
