Did You Feel Smaller as a Result of Being Dwarved?

Did you end up feeling smaller as a result of being dwarfed by this new sense of time? It depends on what you mean by you. And if you allow kinship then the question of you becomes more permeable. I began to feel like the journey is so profoundly imbricated and knotted together that my own destiny in the destiny of these other things were not anywhere near as separate as I thought they were when I started the journey. So did I become smaller and more vulnerable? Yes, but I also became larger. In a Whitman-esque way I started to contain multitudes or they started to contain me.
