(11,282 posts)Also a powerful reminder of the importance of love and friendship in life and how they give meaning to our existence. Without these kinds of connections, life is just a series of chemical, biological and physical reactions on a temporal repeat cycle...BUT, when connections are made between beings - human to human or human to other species - something more is there, THAT essence of meaning and purpose to life flickers and focuses for a moment, but that moment gets us to the next moment like a high handicap golfer taking that one good shot from an otherwise forgettable round to make it to the first tee another day.
Thanks for sharing that...I got a lot out of it today and didn't appreciate how much I needed it to get out of the otherwise dismal news cycles.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
