[A report of apples at the market3a acts as a mirror in which I see I can make applesauce and stock up for the winter2a in the potentials inherent in me1a.

If I focus on the opportunity for making applesauce2a, then I address my desire1a.

If I ask myself, “Is this what I value1b?”, then I question my desire1a.]

[Back to the applesauce example, I got to a place where something2a consisted in the actuality of the opportunity to make apple sauce.

‘This something2a’ is virtually situated by ‘my choice2b’, in the following nested form:

I, seat of choice3b( my choice2b( the potential of something2b))

If I am not contemplative, the potential of me1a is subsumed into I choose2b.

No further articulation needed.

I decide to make applesauce.

The interscope remains an interscope.]

[Opportunity is sandwiched between responsibility and freedom.

Is opportunity sandwiched between words and bondage?

I have a better word: ‘temptation’.

Temptation is sandwiched between words and bondage.

Opportunity and temptation belong to the single actuality that is ‘my heart2’.]
