"Everything happening NOW implies to me that our entire existence is an organic whole, coexisting and interacting continuously, each part of the whole of our existence continuously influencing all other parts of the whole of our existence."

You get it. As much as we can get it. It takes a big heart, an expansive consciousness (no - I am careful not to say infinite), and a humble sense of self to get what one can get and let the rest go.

Amen to that, Rip.
