"transformable" poems
If God were a man, I'd understand why women are ...
so beautiful
so irresistible
so charming
so powerful
so lovely
so delicate
so tenderly
so ****
so hot ...
But they are so much more...
so emotional
so thoughtful
so confusing
so indescribably
so mysterious
so head twisting
so transformable
so incredible
so inconceivably
so surprising
so difficult
so irritating
so complicated...
and then they love shoes?!
No man could dream up something like this!

The situation is inherently transformable
Because reality flows
We can't really drown
We are carried along by the flow
The impermanence idea goes pretty deep
Anatman view is that
External things are ephemeral
The self is not something we can rely on
Western thinkers
Thinking there is a permanent self
Buddhism
Physical body
Feelings change
Perceptions or the label that you put on experiences
Reaction to the things around you
Consciousness fluctuates
Our attention can fluctuate dramatically
The question of permanence and changed
Was wrestled with by Greek philosophers
Personal identity
What is it that makes us us?
Some say it is memory
Some say it is physical continuity as well
What is it that is reborn?
The cycle of rebirth
What is the self?
There isn't a self
But something we can refer to
Something that she did yesterday
The person I am now
Is based on the person I was then
There is a causal chain
