Occasionally I think about life in its entirety, my own life in the present, that which I lived in the past and what may come in the future. I see it as many different parts, some so small, almost imperceptible, and some momentous, almost all-encompassing...but over all, a single element in a vast world.
My life is a collection of many diverse parts, thoughts, events, attitudes, perceptions, confusions and understandings, so many parts all working in harmony, simultaneously and in some semblance of order...a balance? Hmm, over all yes I suppose, but sometimes imbalanced and weighted one way or the other.

I'd not say my life is all together ordered, however it follows a path, time's passage, and has an overarching sense of unity, a oneness perhaps, that began at the very moment I was born and will continue until I'm gone. I push and pull it back and forth and try to create the best life possible.
The sum and total of my life and who I am is in those diverse and varied parts, the details of them, and between the details also I suppose. Life is an ensemble of those details, a collaboration of everything coming together at any given moment and which I can look upon in the present and future and remember fondly, evaluate, consider and change or improve into a better future should that be required.
The world around me is made up of small things, grains of sand, droplets of water, each imperceptible in isolation, but together those tiny details form the planet and I'm there too, another of those small details.
I love the details and parts of my life, I value them knowing one day I'll leave life and become another forgotten detail of the vastness of this planet's history, however while I'm here I feel inclined to gather and combine details and shape them into my version of life.
