This is very thought provoking and multi dimensional. Instead of attaching to what it really means, i want to detach with the idea of really understanding it, yet being and realizing that through whats unclear and letting that guide us sometimes, comes a space which is unimaginable. Love ❤️ how you make us think!

I returned to read this essay and see if I should correct anything, only to see your message. I might not have recognized it at the time, but the message you took away is a very productive one that I wish to have been able to express. Best wishes!

I really like this one since I think about understanding the meaning of self often. I need to read this a few more times to understand the nuances.

The idea of you, my son, disappearing like the corpse of the fox is deeply disturbing: your self, to me, is unknowable but also very much concrete and cherished. Your self, for me, is a combination of your physical and mental wellbeing and as knowable as I can, by physical closeness, or as you let me, by mental openness and sharing. My anxiety about your permanence is lowered every time I hug you!
