Right Here, Right Now

Could anything at all happen without everything else happening at the same time?

From "The Rose":

Could you be here without the food you eat? Could you be here without the air that you breathe? Could you be here without the water that you drink? Could you be here if there wasn’t a sun to warm the earth and grow the plants so vital to the food chain? Could you be here without the soil that grows the plants that are part of the food chain? Could you be here without the hydrogen atoms that make up the sun? Could you be here without the heavier elements resulting from earlier super nova explosions?

You are one facet of all that is and all that ever will be. Feeling separate from other things is a mental construction. Separation feels very real from this perspective, to be sure. However, it’s not the way things really are. You separate yourself from the universe in name only. There’s absolutely no way you could be right here right now without everything else that’s going on right here, right now as well.
