- it’s so beautifully constructed - the fascinating complexity - the detail - the whole thing shattered into seemingly infinite fragments - the stars receding out of reach - this soap opera - the thought of i - the thought of other - the tribal mind – the competitive striving for higher self-regard – the violence - the outmanoeuvring – the fear of losing the self – the relentless searching - the fear of inferiority – action and reaction – the unthinkable surrender - the accumulated past of our collective emotional memory

a creation of the totality – cast adrift – a product of thought – in time – an evolving species - blink of an eye

it must be here now - in front of us - including us - the whole perfect thing - containing thought - containing time - containing space - containing words - containing i - containing the separated world ...held in eternity ...the undivided totality - uncontained - unseparated – here - now - hidden
