I have been chewing on the thought lately that we're all just variations on a nose, eyes, and a mouth. That our faces are actually not so different from other faces. That we're actually each part of a chain of faces-- and then how many chains can there be, really?
Maybe it's connected to that daily sensation of being one in the great mass. A small fish, still searching for my rainbow scales.
