And when we begin to disconnect ourselves from THAT, we begin to become self-absorbed as if somehow this little *i* is more important than the gift of breathing, the gift of life itself. And in becoming self-absorbed we can become disillusioned, disappointed. We can begin to feel disconnected and become depressed. <br /><br />None of our "stuff" defines us, though we think it does. It is something we need to remind ourselves from moment to moment.Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.com
