Why are we here? This is a question that helps Tony identify his true mission. When Tony thinks about here and where we are, he zooms ..out a lot. He does so to keep himself grounded and it helps him to put perspective on the problems and issues that he finds challenging and continuously allows him to appreciate the life he’s been given.
Humans are made up of the elements that come from the core of the stars- the iron in our blood, the carbon in our cells, the phosphorus in our DNA, the calcium in our bones. A well known consensus in astrophysics and physiology is that we are literally the universe coming together to become conscious and aware of itself.
From the beginning, we are reliant on others, we need each other- that seems to a natural part of our evolution, which ties into a theme for our purpose with this podcast- having a community where we can come together, around disability, have some unity with disability, to be able to do so through social connection, and in doing so we can ascend to being the best version of ourselves possible. It’s so important to be together to be connected, to have community, because we are stronger together.
