Twenty-one (21)

I don't know the difference between sprituality, religion, psychic powers, paranormal occurrences.  Well, I do. But to me they all make the same sense.  In the end, I can't see that we're more than just the sum of electrical impulses flashing through the brain.

But when those moments happen.  Those moments.  You know the ones.  When they happen, and the only thing that's in your head is the music and the movement and the conversation with your partner, I think that must be what people mean when they talk about the soul.  For those moments, perhaps we really are more than the sum of our parts.  More than the sum of our partnership.

The soul was measured as weighing 21 grams by Dr Duncan McDougall in 1907.
