Does the honey say to itself, ‘now I came from that flower’ or ‘I came from this flower’? No. Instead it looks around and realizes, ‘I am just this.’
The piccolo man gestured with a stick to an audience of ten. He did not make eye contact with us, as if we were part of a much bigger crowd.
You say, ‘I am from this mother, I have this name.’ And I say, ‘I am from that mother, I have this name.’ We should not think, ‘I am separate from this person,’ or ‘I am separate from that person.’ We should call ourselves ‘I am just this.’
The piccolo man’s first piccolo (he has had seven) was a gift from his grandfather.
