[Buddha-l] mind wandering

[Jim Peavler]

I don't know about this. Some damned thing always cleans up my plate at supper time, and I imagine it is a self of some kind. Something reads books and thinks about them. Who would that be?  Something down inside this fat body (is it a self?) or fat brain (if there is such a thing) imagines all sorts of stuff, like that it's existence makes a damn to somebody somewhere, or perhaps to the whole stinkin' (imagined) universe.

In fact, your posting seems kind of full of self, I imagine.
