Self-Reference


The moment I laid eyes on this image



I was reminded of a similar but unrelated image I posted some time ago, here.  Or perhaps not so unrelated?  After all, nothing exists in a pristine, totally independent state;  everything that exists, exists as itself only insofar as it is distinguishable from other things -- but distinction requires comparability, which is a form of inter-dependence.  Light fixture and dandelion seeds.  Cave wall painting of a successful hunt, and a successful hunt outside the cave.  Conclusion:  two different things that resemble each other are necessarily related.
