Science says we are 99.99% space.
Huh!! What!! And what is this .01% comprised of?
Air, Water, Nitrogen, Carbon, Minerals, Micro-organisms....
What is the outside comprised of?
Air, Water, Nitrogen, Carbon, Minerals, Micro-organisms....
But there must be some difference because clearly I am I and the outside is the outside. The objects are real and I can see them.
But the air is moving in and out, so are the micro organism, so is the water...so is ....
Hmm...I can see a body for sure, and it seems to be separate from everything else.
Yes, even on a movie screen we can see objects. They do seem real, but they are only projections, are they not.
That is different.
Okay, how about a river? You see a river but all it is is ever changing water. Isn't the river an illusion of being one thing?
Are we like a river? It can't be. There is an apple and here I am
I ate the apple. Now ?
Oops! You are just trying to drive me nuts. I am off.
Sure, but there are more micro-organisms in your body than cells. Are you sure you are still you?
Bye! Don't call me.
WATER IN THE WAVE
We are water
In an ocean
Appearing to ourselves
As waves
Separate and disconnected
We lament that one wave
Is bigger than another
Or reaches farther
Than the rest
We mourn the wave
Which crashes against the mountains
And envy the one
Which gathers the most shells
We become restless
And keep seeking
Looking for the water
Out in the shore
Forgetting that we
Are the water in the wave
Like the gold in a chain
Or the clay in a pot
