We humans cling to what we can see through our extremely limited sense-perception, that flickering struck match in a room with no walls or floor or ceiling.
We cling to our thoughts like persons clinging to a toothpick in an ocean, like persons clinging to bubbles forever bursting.
We cling to each other.
We look to develop a basis for existing, a base, a ground on which to stand. We put our trust in this, in that -- some image of salvation. A salvation that will save us without us undergoing change.
We are so clever. We even invent no salvation as our salvation.
A cloud in the sky has no floor. A bird in flight is only motion.
When we are the universe, we need no shoe horn.
