Separate Awareness
This morning I decided to run 5 miles. I put the puppy in the kennel and headed down our steep hill with the goal of "Hidden Gold" in mind.
Something strange happened as I turned onto Secret Lake Trail and started rounding the corner into the shade. I looked up and let my gaze fall upon the tree tops that stretched for miles.
A feeling...no, more like a keen awareness that I was a totally separate person from my parents engulfed me. I thought about this and wondered how strange it was. I mean, I always knew it, but this was an entirely different thought. I had a few questions for myself.
Don't people my age start looking in the mirror and see their parents?
Doesn't this happen at a much earlier age...like 2?
What made me think of that? Where did it come from? I wasn't even thinking about them?
Is a person ever a truly separate person from their parents?
We all share similar feelings and life experiences...what really makes a person unique?

I think I'm going to go on a ride this afternoon. (My equal of running).
PS check out me blog. You'll laugh.

No. A person is never really separate from his or her parents. I think of it in biological, genetic, psychological and spirtual terms. For me, the answer is no.
