[I'll drown the urge for permanence and certainty; crouch down and scrawl my name with yours in wet cement.]
Ever notice how if you sit still, I mean really really still, for a long time, you can feel your blood? Does that happen to anyone else? Or if you hold your hands out with your fingers spread apart, you can feel it flowing through them? You can feel it, and you realize that you're nothing. You finally understand that you're just a sack of fluids. You, as a being, are only worm food. The part of you that matters isn't tangible or even comprehendable. It's the essence that is you. The aura of you that flows from your body into everything that you contact. It's eternity. The random firing of synapses that produce thought that produce ideas that last forever. The electrical impulses in your brain that can form something so deep, so intangible, so everlasting. It's not you that matters, it's your essence. Your eternal self that will live on for eternity in everything that you have ever affected. Everything you do affects absolutely every aspect of every life and non-life on the entire planet, in time. Your essence, in time, is spread across the entire globe and even the universe.
Your eternal self is the change you have made.
You will live forever.
You are infinite.
