A nice meditation and beautiful relections on this existence of ours. I agree living begins with the ego (the birth of self consciousness) and until we can really say, 'Here I Am.'

Dear Hugh, You done it again sagacious one; you've managed to move my melon into loftier realms of thought and after midnight at that. 'I suppose, accordingly, that everything that I see is false; I convince myself that nothing has ever existed at all that my deceitful memory recalls to me. I think that I have no senses; and I believe that body, shape, extension motion, and location are merely inventions of my mind. What then could still be thought true? Perhaps nothing else, unless it is that there is nothing certain in the world.' -René Descartes Melon needing 'shrooms now, Gregory

All reality illusion and all illusion merely dreams. An amazing delve into the realms of all possibilities, bleeding through the walls connectiing all dimesions. Likewise, nothing holds true but truth itself yet truth is in the eye of all and none. Superb poetry, Mr. Cobb.

This is a long drink but a refreshing one. I felt the contentions of U.G.Krishnamurti here, denying it its exposition the self which is an illusion and in it all the ideas which we insist be reality. Samsara holds us and its hands are our hands. Or like an old drunk philosopher said: 'We get in our own way of happiness. ' Good poetry Mr. Cobb
