you forget your separateness:
you are the sunset.

enclosed entity of the ego.
Now the mind is speaking.

I am like a newborn.
I have what I have today;

I will make all decisions and actions based solely
on what I have today as a starting point."

hang "go away" on the door whenever we want,
clean and tidy often... or never,
launch from and return to,
are truly ourselves.
