Thinking about No-Mind without a mind, Roby wondered if one must have a mind to comprehend the meaning of No-Mind.
Was I once molten debris from a supernova’s collapse? Could I next be a tree, then turtle, then Turk? Was this boulder once my brother? Is the Earth my mother? Humans must have deeper thoughts....

There was a quote in the late 1960s-early 1970s that my ex-husband attributed to Mason Williams (of Classical Gas fame). I have searched enough, thank you very much, and cannot find either the quote or who originally said it.

Was watching a movie with my mother at her house. Mid-1980s, which means she was around 70 and a bit prone to dozing off in her recliner. She was always an active sleeper-dreamer (I'm glad I didn't inherit her inclination for occasional sleepwalking). I was engrossed in the movie when I heard her repeatedly asking me.....in a very muffled tone.....How do I look? How do I look? I turned in my chair to look at her and found her turned in my direction. Her eyes were tightly closed and her top teeth were bucked out and over her lower lip. I instantly roared, which woke her up. As she came to she began to laugh and tell me that she dreamed she was a WALRUS and was so proud of her amazing tusks that she wanted everyone to notice and compliment them! And, no, I never let her forget the episode.

Saturday Night Live on NBC. I've watched (some years have appealed more than others) since the first season when they didn't have enough sponsors to fill in the ad time so they would actually show a still shot of the original cast, etc. for the amount of time an advertisement would play. It didn't take too long before sponsors began filling up that time.
