I feel connected to everything around me. For example, I feel connected to a rock I see laying on the ground. Why? Because the rock is made of atoms & molecules, and so am I. The rock exists in space and time, and so do I. The rock is located on planet earth, etc.

Hopefully this doesn't sound too weird. Does anyone else feel this way?

But I also feel really lucky to be alive. Most of the other things I feel connected to are not alive. So I feel lucky that I am. It's amazing to be alive. It's not necessarily good, or fun, or easy to be alive. But it is amazing. I treasure life.
