A marvelous form of being

Your eating chocolate coated peanuts and raisins, you come across a really small one, too small to have a raisin inside. Anyway it has a smooth coating of chocolate so it can’t be a raisin– whose coating is typically gnarled and glumpy. It’s definitely too small for a peanut! You consume it whole, biting it your front teeth cut part way through. Seems like plain chocolate, you excite in such a discovery – a blip of chocolate that when was still liquid, budded free and formed “a self” in spite of all the other chocolate that swirled and clung to nuts and to raisins. So independent, so inspirational – marvelous blip! You think it highly likely that given different circumstances bonds of friendship would be formed.

Further your teeth slice, and curiously perhaps nut they find! Absolutely illogical! – it is too small for a peanut you recall. What then do you believe of this encounter? What then of size and all you hold as possible in such regard to peanuts? Is there no truth!? How adorable to think it is a baby peanut :) No, probably it is just a chip of an adult peanut. Still you disbelieve its existence, it was too small, there were bonds forming, it was marvelous and now, its just a smaller version of the others. How rude it would be, in requirement of accuracy, to hence forth say “I am eating chocolate coated nuts, nut fragments and raisins and possibly fragmented raisins”? Contrast how joyful to declare you had discovered a new form of being! But it is crushed! Oh you lament for lost clarity, why did you not excise more carefully? Why with your hand did you not hold, and with your mouth then do the bite? Half would then be out; its cross section would be seen and its marvels would be known. Now there is but possibilities, imagination, and a wish that is lost.
