For a brief moment every morning, you are nothing. Just a body, lying helplessly in a bed (or futon or floor - depends on your situation).
The moment your eyes open, within seconds your memory kicks-in and it loads the programs you have so tightly held-onto in your life, included the one you think you are (if only Windows worked that well :D.)
Amazing. You now have a "continued" version of your self which existed yesterday before you closed your eyes to fall asleep.
But just briefly, if you noticed in that opening of your eyes... you were nothing.
One might even be forgiven for thinking that to really have peace in this world, perhaps we should all be "asleep".
Or, is that really what we are when we are awake?!

Wonderful to watch the download happen before the eyes even open. Especially noticeable when in new surroundings like a hotel. Wait, what am I again? Where am I? Ah, right ... that's the story. ☺️
