The person is a very small thing.
Actually
it is a composite, it cannot be said to exist
by itself.
Unperceived, it is just not there.
It is but the shadow of the mind, the sum total
of memories.
Pure being is reflected in the
mirror of the mind, as knowing.
What is known
takes the shape of a person, based on memory
and habit.
It is but a shadow, or a projection
of the knower onto the screen of the mind.
