Hi Craig, 

I could have said to him that his consciousness constructs from patterns of value these leaves, this branch, this tree trunk, this whole tree.  Or I could have told him that he is the leaves, branch, tree trunk and the entire tree.  Sounds very odd to my ears. -  He's learning to read; maybe I should get him a book of koans.  

Do you have any suggestions? 


Marsha
