Summary

Despite the diverse beliefs and perspectives people hold, the quote implies that there is a common essence within humanity that can be associated with the divine. It highlights the hidden nature of this inherent divinity, suggesting that it exists universally, yet often remains unacknowledged or denied by individuals.

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing.At other times it feels like being mildly drunk, or concussed. There is a sort of invisible blanket between the world and me. I find it hard to take in what anyone says. Or perhaps, hard to want to take it in. It is so uninteresting. Yet I want the others to be about me. I dread the moments when the house is empty. If only they would talk to one another and not to me.
