Portrait III — What Are You Separate From?

What movement, what flow are we separate from? The flow of matter, sometimes visible and invisible, is more obvious outside of the body. We take for granted the movement of air as we breathe, sounds and smells, light, the movement of food in eating and digestion, the thoughts passing from one being to another. But it is hard to deny the flow as it enters and exits all the orifices, arteries, and cavities in the body. The illusion of our autonomy, our individuality, and our separateness weakens as we see how our skin may contain our being, but the flow of life must continuously move through us.
