>>112756191I am the playing, but not the pause.
I am the effect, but not the cause.
I am the living, but not the cells.
I am the ringing, but not the bells.
I am the animal, but not the meat.
I am the walking, but not the feet.
I am the pattern, but not the clothes.
I am the smelling, but not the rose.
I am the waves, but not the sea.
Whatever my substrate, my me is still me.
I am the sparks in the dark that exist as a dream—
I am the process, but not the machine.
