Interesting point, I think I know what you're driving at. My response is somewhat abstract and what came to mind are these two pieces of poetry.
"O chestnut tree, great rooted blossomer,
Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole?
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
How can we know the dancer from the dance? "
WB Yeats
"To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour "
William Blake.
Also a question sprang to mind, " Does Creation have a Creator and if so how might you know such a one ? "
The phrase itself 'I am' seems quite jaded at the moment. By jaded of course i mean tired. Almost over used at this point. However, the point being is the " I am"going down to the supermarket, living my life in some kind of sequential order, known by my name, loved by someone etc. the same as the 'I am' Blake spoke about when he said that to be here at all to be alive ..is a miracle. Of course you could experience an epiphany going to supermarket or being loved or even been in love with your name, definitely possible ? Anyway a few thoughts ..thanks for the opportunity.
