I'm in a half sedated state where everything seems to roll around me. I'm only here to observe. Spectate if you will. Does that count as being alive? Perhaps I'm an eagle strolling around.
That is Pilobolus, it is a tiny fungus that lives in cow dung, it likes the sunshine by all accounts... we have much in common!
"I think, therefore I am," or "Cogito ergo sum," to quote the Latin, is proof that I do exist (whether I am alive or not is a slightly different matter). But this only proves to myself that I exist, I cannot use it to prove my existence to anyone else or, indeed, to prove the existence of anyone else to myself.
I only have heavy trippy shit, nothing easy to do, so I can't trip without a lot of effort and apprehension and planning... bugger ... I need lots of lsd
hmmm... yeahhh, grasp the nettle, grasp a glass, but grasp that moment of life, that moment of reality and truth? hmm
