I am here but far away.

"A human•being is part of a whole,
called by us the Universe,
a part limited in time and space;
*





*
We experience ourselves,
our thoughts and feelings,
as something separated from the rest--
a kind of optical delusion of the consciousness.
*
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons
nearest us.

*





*
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

~ Albert Einstein
