What does it mean to assay ? It is an old French word, meaning to examine from the core of existence outward. To find the true essence of something, or; in this case; someone. I am not the first to write his assays; I credit that honor to Michele De Montaigne. He wrote of many subjects; as I shall.
For what are we but that which is on the inside of our shells. That which no one else can see or feel. What we have experienced, and what we have learned from it, homogenizes within ourselves and makes who we are at any given moment.
In the words of Aldus Huxley,
we are a society of island universes
And, in the words of Lao Tzu,
each moment we experience changes us, thus we can never truly know ourselves, much less another
So who am I…..I wonder……?
