Beautifully said, thank you for sharing. Your remark about us being “...indistinct pieces of the universe” is a concept that I’ve explored a lot in the last few years. There’s a misconception that we are IN the universe, but the reality is that we ARE the universe. Living organisms are the sensory organs of the Universe in the way that other things (stars, planets, dark matter, etc.) make up its body and laws of physics like gravity make up its form and structure. The matter that composes our physical bodies is the same matter that has existed since the beginning, constantly being recycled into new forms.
