 | We don't see the connection between events in our lives. We view others as separate from ourselves. The past is a "memory" and there is no concept or vision of a future. Just like my 2-year-old daughter...

This article came to me just when I was feeling so low and "fragmented" as you put it. I seem to be so affected by a rejection of someone that logically speaking could not be a good relationship but somehow I've only been seeing the "lolly". Thank you so much for showing me the bigger picture and putting things into perspective!!!

I have felt like the we are all connected for as long as I can remember. I let my fears keep my life fragmented. I didn't want to be different or stand out because this was how others hurt me. When I made mistakes I tried to leave them behind , to seperate my current self from the "fool" I was to have allowed them to hurt me. After doing that for so many years there was nothing left of me , I was a fragment of all that I am capable of being. I have always had a feeling that I was lost. I could see small examples of G-d for a moment here and there but when the moment passed so did my happiness and sense of peace. When I focus on my life as a whole I am proud of the relationships I have had with others. I can see G-d 's love in the closeness those people shared with me. But I have a hard time connecting those special moments with the pain that seems ever present in my life. Can you guide me to a lesson to help me .
