Our given form, the basic material we were born with,
is continually creating new forms that emerge
from the colony of individual cells that is our brain and body.
These forms are patterns of organization,
some of which emerge in our conscious awareness as ideas.
Ideas are the forms created at the boundary between each of us and the world.
Ideas are like the living coral organism's creation of its skeletal shelter.
Memory is like the corallite on the beach; a record
of the life of an organism and its interaction with its environment.
