Exquisite, Jeni.
When one realizes that we are all connected within this universe and that we do not have one-stop lives - birth, life, death - done! Then we can see that we come into a life with unfinished business. With goals missed, passions unrequited, help turned away. We strive to fit in the missing pieces and end up with a different end result - which is all part of the game.
Cheers, my friend.
