A chariot (flesh or blood) does not inherently exist because of not being 
its parts, not being other than its parts, not being in its parts, not being 
that in which its parts exist, not possessing its parts, not being the 
composite of its parts, and not being the shape of its parts.

Ghosts.  I cannot explain why I'm in this particular rabbit hole, but here I 
am.  Wondering why opposite-from-non-self' is sooooooooooo strange.   I mean 
how can I do this by myself when there is no self?   I'm all for compassion, 
but I think there's also something to say for unpolluted.

'In choosing you choose' seemed to fit nicely after:

   "in breath you breath,
    in heartbeat you beat,
    in dream you dream,
    in walking you walk"


I still think of choosing as a moral action.

I'm babbling, aren't I?  Sorry.
