Thank you Jill, Ken and Rebecca, one feels much gratified when her/his work
is positively commented. The guilt described is a Christian one, with all
the tinges attributed to it, as Kenneth intuited. Also the ones Rebecca
highlights, in the sense that the snapshot has a fundamental negative
imprint.
And Rebecca goes further:

Exactly, a preclusion of everything else. Or, one's sense of identity is
attached to it. -
I am not describing myself, but a process, even if the "I" is the main
voice. Or better, one of the infinite I's, part of the self; or one of the
infinite selves part of the I.
Hi Anny,
Yes, I hope you didn't think that I was arguing for the "I" being "you"!
I read it as the "I"/eye? of a process, which was why I found it interesting
for my preoccupations!
take care,
Rebecca
