The line is from a former writer, now dead, who occasionally did some poetry. It expressed his understanding, of the difference, between being alive and being dead. While alive, there is the almost perpetual sense of being separate, for all the angst that may produce, it is more of an imagined sense, than an actual one.

Whether things went bang, boom, or busted up, the Singularity was ruptured. Instantly energy emerged, evolving quickly into light, and the changes that brought about have yet to stop.

From this singular light, eventually some thousands of enormous suns, perhaps the size of our solar system or galaxy burst forth. All born of one source, all with the same energy of said source. Eventually, some many years later, carbon had developed within them, bringing about their death spirals. From their dying vomit, spread across the universe, were born all elements, from carbon onward…
