““No, that is true, they are not tight up against each other in the sky, there is a tiny gap between them. That is the way of nature. Think of lovers. If lovers were tight up against each other all the time they would no longer need to love each other. They would be one. They would be nothing for them to want. That is why nature has gaps. if every thing were packed tightly together ,everything in nature then there will be no you or me or Inge's You and I would not be talking to each other right now,there would just be silence-oneness and silence. So, on the whole it is a good thing that there should be gaps between things, that you and I should be two instead of one.””
