“Because milk is nothing more… than perfectly digested blood.”
Hieronymus Mercurialis
Identity
I ask questions about identity because I see the
danger of it blurring in my surrounding reality, as a result of “memory decay.”
Body
The body is a physical, psychic, and mental
reality, processing past experiences throughout its actions. Its activity in
space includes elements of a signal – sign – message and also auto-expression.
