A separate self?

To join in a collaborative effort can be a sublime experience! It is capable of giving rise to feelings of satisfaction, exhilaration, sweetness, joy, and pride. (The good kind.) What makes it sublime is that we know, even as the experience progresses, that it is possible only because of the involvement of the other individuals. We are involved in creating something significant which we could not do alone. While this experience is unfolding, our ordinary sense of a separate self is eclipsed by the perception of interdependence.

  
Perhaps, ultimately, there is only "we."
