The Whole, in other words, is much greater than the sum of its parts.
None of us will ever have "the answers" to the "big question" of our existence. There are mysteries to live with and to share with others-----knowledge can expand or contract our world depending on how we make use of it----
You do have to be quiet in a real way (open, quiet, listening not just with your ears...using all senses) to be able to let others in, to connect.
And, no, I am lousy at that much of the time.......but the times I am good at that become truly the most precious of moments---those times when I Really hear another heart and mind beating on in spite of it all, and because of it all.
That moment is an Existential Awakening...it doesn't last but it is Central to life.
