I don't think this would register well at a woke level, but it is such an incredible passage.
My life is one single day. And that's how the past for me is present and future. All in a single dizziness. And the sweetness is such that it causes an unbearable itch in the soul. Living is magical and wholly inexplicable. I understand death better. Being everyday is an addiction. What am I? I'm a thought. Do I have the breath within me? do I? but who does? who speaks for me? do I have a body and a spirit? am I an I? “That's exactly right, you are an I,” the world answers me terribly. And I am horrified. God must never be thought because either He flees or I do. God must be ignored and felt. Then He acts. I wonder: why does God demand our love? possible answer: so that we might love ourselves and in loving ourselves, forgive ourselves. And how we need forgiveness. Because life itself already comes muddled with error. (A Breath of Life)

Seeing something as it is depends on also seeing through it, to something beyond, the context, the roundness or depth, in which exist.
A Toffee Shock gets bigger and bigger and bigger as you suck it, instead of smaller and smaller – and when it is so big that there is hardly room for it in your mouth it suddenly explodes – and goes to nothing.
Pootling around with one's philosophical poodle. Doesn't sound like a bad way to live one's life.
Love one's neighbour is not possible without love of oneself. HERMANN HESSE
