No, @mavido, you are not close, brother... You hit the nail on the head! That's exactly the slippery territory that I explore in this poem:

the issue of self identity, and awareness of thought, a higher frame of thinking, a higher frame of existence.

Thank you, for your sensitivity and eloquent appreciation. I admire your interest in what is challenging. I think people who appreciate/create poetry must enjoy mental/emotional puzzles :)

Wishing you a safe and creative weekend 🙏
