self-possession, egoless ego

[droqen]

The rainbow is beautiful.

[droqen]

consider the subjective statement, "The rainbow is beautiful."
it is a simple claim about the world;
to attempt to reduce the presence of ego in it draws attention to self-awareness of the ego
to draw attention to self-awareness is to draw attention to self
to draw attention to self is to fail egolessness

to wit: "I believe that the rainbow is beautiful." "That rainbow appears beautiful to me." "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but still, the rainbow is beautiful."

i cannot think of a more egoless construction
   than that which,
      taken literally,
         egotistically makes the self most central

central yet invisible.

[droqen]

to consider oneself separate, miniscule, but individual.
to consider oneself part of everything, part of the infinite whole.
to consider oneself.
