Imagine if you could escape reality and allow your imagination to reduce you to a tiny, itty-bitty, microscopic speck inside of a human vein. Your world would be a strange one indeed, embedded within a single cell afloat in a sea of plasma teeming with white hunter-cells and blood-red corpuscles. Now, let yourself shrink down to an atom complete with a halo of electrons that is paradoxically attracted and repelled by the core of your being. A singularity; you're a phantasmagorical universe onto yourself. You're the foundation of reality an essential building block of life and yet, you're so infinitesimally small you're fated never to see the big picture that would not exist but for you.

infinitely attracted and repelled by the core of your being...how true how true ...what's at the heart is survival...self gaurding against a self/world/ contamination
