   i'm trying to think what i gained from that experience.   
   it makes me think that we are much more than any   
   one particular life.   
   what we are is not just any particular life or experience.   
   it is really impossible for me to live a life now where   
   i am not influenced by what i have seen.   
   it appears that we have just conveniently forgotten   
   who/what we really are, for the sake of this experience.   
   it is really quite a wonderful and remarkable thing,   
   now i don't think i mind 'forgetting' my self, for the   
   sake of the reward to my self, knowing full well   
   that i am going to awaken from this little journey,   
   having benefited from the experience, in a very   
   profound way, i'm sure we all do to the extent   
   that it may cause a growing awareness in each of us.   
   but it must take so many lives, yet i have heard   
   a story of someone who 'do it all' in one life.   
   that really doesn't seem possible.
