Another Alien Nightmare

Another nightmare with the aliens last night. Ran into Ripley's cat Jonesy. First time that's happened. He seems to be doing okay, all things considered.

Imagine you're floating in deep space. There is nothing within view except a glowing ball that is approaching. It glides past you. But with no point of reference, it is impossible for you to know whether the apparent motion of the ball is because the ball is moving or you are moving or both. The motion is a manifestation of you and the ball, but is something separate and distinct.

Your sense of self is like that motion. It is the manifestation of countless interactions ("motions") between you and the world around you, as perceived through your senses and thoughts and memory, over space and time.

There is no self. There is only sense of self. And without motion there is not even that.

The questions run too deep
For such a simple man"

Run Ridge Run 25K

First race of 2019. 25K with 3800' of climb. Lots of fun on a tough course made tougher by snow and ice. Shredded my Yaktrax on the rocks. At 3:53 didn't come close to breaking 3 hours as I had hoped. Ranked 54% ... a bit worse than last year. Still ... good to get out there. More work to be done. Next up: Dirty Duo 50K.
