What is a memory? How much data is required to store it as unique? Do certain memories become categorized under the same vein?
One flush of feeling can be tagged to be stored. Sometimes, the right combinatinon of light and color pass the threshold of awareness, and dissolve a previous formation.

MemorySafety has been easily found for me in visions and dreams of a desert, a wide vast plane, open and clear. It is often that I find refuge here, and in my quoitidian movements I make my bed its relative, in lack of its full emergence. There is something wishful and prayer-like of an image like this, and that recognition charges it further.

Vision
ExplorationUsing the tool of attention to conjure states like gratitude or recognition, we can choose to infuse objects or moments around us with divinity, or blessing.
A blessing, one definition says, is something which makes the mind more beneficial to itself. And divinity is the wider-than-thought space born of selflessness and awareness. Both divinity and blessing can exist in dense matter, if placed there.
A practice of attention like this can be both easy and potent if we do it with food. If we allow the action of consumption to rise to its symbolic power, we allow ourselves to be humbled, and changed. A practice of attention is nothing more than a reorganisation of mind and body.
Definition of blessing from Phakchok Rinpoche

Things come to us sometimes and they glow. They are like gems, full of source, honed through the many, many version of their own evolving bodies. Made ripe by patience and experimentation and attention, they then appear before us in a drop of presence, they themselves dripping with the natural bedrock of endless creation. You can get to know the feeling of when objects or scenes come to you from there, and it will become familiar. By doing this you will be allowing a river to form there in that groove of your own consciousness, and soon, you will be able to play there. You will have opned a space that was not there before, and part of the rigidity you struggle against will melt.
