like a fountain of water...thingness

For me there is no materiality to apparent

materiality.  In our bodies, 3 billion cells a minute are

dying and being reborn.  So our bodies look solid,

but they aren't.  How many minutes have just gone

by and how many cells have died and been reborn?

We're like a fountain.  A fountain of water looks

solid, but you can put your fingers right through it.  

Our bodies look like things, but there's no

thingness to them.
