I'm looking at myself, reflections of my mind

My, how quickly identification with a separate self goes from theory to the isolation and requisite suffering of *being* a separate self.

And the harder one kicks/screams to escape the binding prison-ry of separate selfhood, the tighter its clutches, as though each kick/scream reinforces the false belief in being such a thing - no matter how easy it is to demonstrate such couldn't possibly be more than a mental/conceptual phenomenon.

As Curly Howard would likely assess and conclude, "Nyuck nyuck nyuck nyuck nyuck!"

Frost on the grass this morning, and now extremely minor snow flurries. We've a Halloween party to attend, tonight, which coincides with the birthday of a youngin' being adopted into a step-daughter/son's family.
