Hi Paul,
I cannot remember everything from last week. The eight-year-old me is also pretty
much extinct, but for memories of folks, feelings, sights, sounds....
As Thee sayeth, can we, including stars and quasars too, be any more than thoughts in the Mind of what's-her-name? What could be more than being that? We did not constrain what such a thought can be or do!
On the other end of the continuum of cosmic awareness...One day I am convinced I am a singular individual.
The next day I can't even remember where that guy has placed an important item. Are we even the same person from day to day when I cannot even contact the prior "me" to ask where I put it? (Yes, if I hadn't scrambled the chemistry of memory with that caffeine?)
When "my" 100 years are done (give or take 53 years and 8 days) it's just another day when I can't remember everything that happened the day before. Wouldn't want to if I could. Too busy,
and it's no matter that I am very inefficient.
Sincerely, A thought
