A friend sent this link to me, and I would like to pass it along. Perhaps the music is not my favorite, but the sentiment needs to be heard. There really is no need to postulate and rest the meaning and value of THIS (this world, this life, this thusness) in some transcendent, super-natural realm!
It is not merely poetic to understand that we are not simply in the universe, but the universe is in us. Each of us, the universe in unique manifestation.
