It is a more than surreptitious element of the English language, that the article ‘I’ sounds the same as the word ‘eye’ in the same way water reflects the very WORLD it feeds. Is life-giver, and yet colorless. Both indeed are coincidental, yet it is also true that they are the same manner of coincidence. That to call the self ‘I’ is to give being to the self, the audacious ‘I am’ more dignified because solely personally applicable; that water is what we are made of, and is transparent, reflects what it has made possible and by this is an subordinate entity to the seen WORLD. The veil over ‘I’ creates the ‘I am’ yet the being itself in it that is considered, perceived, is nonexistent without this subordinate veil. So then why the need for hiding, if being is not hidden but blatantly there? What is the source that feeds a being and metaphorically, perhaps literally, IS being? Water is the ‘I’ we drink to be, its substance the eye through which we perceive being, and simultaneously a veil. Therefore, perception is the veil over a literal WORLD.
