I could never understand the point of view where people say that the universe is waking up, but now I think I do. When you're alive, your Self is a conglomeration of the Self you have plus the pieces that everyone holds. When you die, this Self persists but fractures into pieces. Everyone you know holds a little piece, and at a funeral the pieces come back together one last time. When we try to find our little pockets of beauty, we are finding the pieces of universe's Beauty. Each of these pieces are disconnected for now, but as we find more and more, we will put the pieces back together and find the Beauty that once was.
