This hankering after oneness with the universe is the indication that Pete 
is a Modernist artist, rather than Postmodern.  Postmodernists accept the 
fact that the world is fragmented and that it can't be put back together.  
However, I like the spiritual side of Pete's lyrics, and the fact that he's 
a seeker.  It's a mistake to look for it in events.  It's possible to 
experience it sometimes with other people, but as you say, this is always 
transitory.  I think we always have to find oneness with creation inside 
ourselves.
