How much bigger can you get than that? (c)

- Mind if I join you?
- Not at all.
- Can I have a drag of that?
- Are you sure?
- Don’t you start. I was on my way to the store, got kind of claustrophobic.
- Things not so good, huh?
- Yeah, not so good.
- I’m sorry.
- You know what the problem is? When I was doing what I was doing, I enjoyed it in a sick kind of way. I really liked getting high. It was a relief, but, it was killing me. Joe showed me something better that wouldn’t kill me.
- What? What did he show you?
- How to be at peace by being in touch with something bigger than myself.
- I got that for you. Lie down here.
- That’s not exactly what I had in mind.
- C’mon, trust me. Lie down. There you have it.
- What?
- The universe. I mean look at it, it’s incredible. You know some of the stars you can see on a clear night? They’re light that’s taken two and half million years to get here. When that light started out the Ice Age hadn’t even begun. You want a connection to something bigger? How much bigger can you get than that?
- It is pretty big.
- Yeah. And we’re a part of it, a lucky part of it cause as far as we know only earth came together in a way that enabled life to exist. And what a break right? Thank you universe, and then you die and that’s it.
- Well now I’m definitely feeling better.
- You should. Once you understand that life is finite, you don’t want to waste a moment of it.
- I hate to say it, but I’m not getting the same buzz I get from church.
- Why not?
- ‘Cause I want someone up there I can talk to.
- That’s what I thought. See, you don’t want a spiritual life based on truth. You want a daddy in the sky and even if he is totally imaginary he’s always gonna be there when you need him.
- What I want, is to be loved. (c)
