But then I consider my beginning in this parenthesis did not begin with a breath infiltrating my lungs. So then does ones last breath really end ones odyssey? Something to give thought to huh?Fair enough "your" beginning started during the moment of conception between mom's egg and dad's sperm*. That would be the "your" as in Me, Myself, and I. I'm aware by virtue of a life long love of learning about Earth, evolution, and how we humans got here, etc. that I'm a part of a much bigger story and that "my" beginnings go back as far a I want. The blood in veins infuse me with echo's my parent's spirits, which they received from their parents, and so on. Hell, if the evening is long enough and the scotch tasty enough we can trace our journey straight back to the Big Bang. As someone else pointed out, it all comes down to definitions. Your answers will only be as good as your questions.[/I] *{not that you were human back then, you still needed to cross a few hurdles before that splendid moment occurred.}
