Robert and Sarah, I love the images you’ve both created about the place of an individual in the vast field of knowing and unknowing. Mine is that I’m an atom on the knee of a giant, cosmic giraffe! Remembering that makes me smile and softens the hard edges of my ego, at least temporarily!

I agree that we never end. In my unconscious, perfectionist mode, this brings frustration and impatience, but the more lights I switch on, the more it brings comfort. Despite the ego-humbling nature of this work, I dearly love it and its inherent rewards, and I am grateful that my soul will never be without a purpose!

“Do we ever end?” In my opinion, no. We are there in the whole, or should I say that the whole is within us as though we are separate leaves on one massive tree, yggdrasil, the tree of life – separate leaves but connected to every other leaf where each is nourished and somehow at the same time nourishing. I like the pointillist metaphor. Thanks, Sarah, for your words, questions and wonderings.

Do we ever end? How deep do we go? How far do we reach. Every time a light comes on in some part of me, I turn and see the shadow that the new knowing has cast on some other part of me. Because we are each connected to the vastness, it moves through us and beyond what we could ever fathom in the confines of this time and space. If there is no end to “me” can I at least be more conscious of being in the vastness? I am like one dot in a pointillist’s painting — I am positioned just so in relation to all the other dots in a vision whose beautiful composition I cannot see because I am limited by where I have been placed. All I can do is trust in the artist’s vision – that I have been placed perfectly in order to assist in completing the work.
