How does the Lake appear to itself? How does it reflect in my experience and contrasts and compares to its self-actualization and experience.
I think no one should name it until it finds out whether it believes it is a sea, ocean, inlet, lake, or even if it identifies as the concept, water. What if it only identifies as ice because it prefers that state?
I mean, really, calling it a lake when it might not actually perceive itself as lake is aggressively speicific.
I say, wait. How do we know the (lake) isn’t sentient? Who decided this very anthropocentric idea that bodies of water aren’t aware?
You remind me of the song I Pity Inanimate Objects by Godley and Creme (ex-10cc).
