You know, that idea that you are on the "bank of sand," just observing, always watching, the flow of Life. But that's not really how it is...
Turns out you are simulaneously on the bank of sand and smack dab in the river too. You are watching the flow of Life, but you are also always flowing in that river of Life at the same time.
It's an odd thing. A doubling: Watching & Experiencing. And Life just goes on...
