There is that old adage or Mayan saying:
God was bored, so He/She/They separated them in many separate selves and made them forget they were one except left a seed of longing to be one and rest in the cradle of the crescent moon.
We long to be One. But once become One and separate again into the little I we forget most of that Oneness experience save for the feeling of one. And so it goes the play of consciousness.
And yes it is calming. Thanks for the reminder. With calmness come great peace.
Thanks for the accolade, Pseu. π
