Since life first appeared on this earth billions of years ago, there has never once been a gap, an interruption, in the transferal of life. Organisms create new organisms before dying, animals give birth to their own kind before passing on. In this sense, every living thing today is connected to the very origin of life. From prehistoric bacteria to the tips of my fingers. There has only ever been one glowing ball of life spanning hundreds of millions of centuries, creating and expanding before it has the chance to burn out. One day it will blink out of existence of course, it's inevitable, but until then every living thing remains connected through this one entity.

Almost as if life is a huge metaphorical wave spanning through time. Everything is presently living. I guess you could imagine life as related to the ripple effect. There's the formation of life, and from there everything branches out and expands and grows. And, of course, there are millions of dead ends with every second that passes, but at the same time there are just as many organisms reproducing and creating the next generation of life which will continue the aforementioned pulse of life.

Thinking in this grandiose way always makes everything I've ever imagined as important seemingly trivial, but in a way, everything really is. Nothing matters, but in the same breath I can say that everything matters. All is relevant. Everything and everybody will disappear one day, and that will be the end of existence as we know it, but until that actually happens, we all have everything and there's not really much more to the say than that.
