Some things are easier not to keep track of here I suppose. You seem to handle all the little changes better than most. So many minds here are so preoccupied with their losses....
The permanence of something doesn't actually have anything to do with it's meaning. As lasting or transient as they may be, a great deal of human existence is spent invested in navigating social structures. To us, they are very meaningful.
All angels know what things taste like. It's not the same as tasting them with a vessel.
There was a plant, millions of years before humans were created, that had white and pink berries the size of your hand. The taste of it was indescribable; I could say it's like melon and banana and raspberry jam, but it wasn't. Not really.
I used to sit under the leaves and watch the fruit grow. But I wonder now what it would have been like to truly taste one.
