(im)possibility

I have been having out-of-body experiences lately. Really, it's more of an out-of-life experience. It's the feeling you get when you remember that everything that you can see and hear and smell and touch is practically nothing, compared to the things you are not experiencing. Is it possible to live as if this weren't the case? Is it possible to live without pretending that this is the case? When you think about it, it seems impossible, either way. And yet, life does go on. As they say.
