However, I looked around me and realized that I was in this vast body of water, whose drops touched every other continent on the face of the world, and I was connected, by proxy, to every land mass in the entire world by being in the Gulf. The sense of connectedness was overwhelming, and I felt as a being of absolute power, beauty, and wonder sharing in the great Lifeforce that powers every living being. [/B]

Well said Such moments of insight are gifts indeed
