Memoro Ergo Sum
But this memory is the glue that keeps the universe as one: although immaterial it makes being possible, it is being.
If an idea did not remember to think
it wouldn’t be.
If a chair wasn’t there,
it wouldn’t be tomorrow.
If I didn’t remember that I am,
I won’t be.
We can also say that the universe is the glue that keeps it going,
therefore it is memory in action,
and in essence,
in becoming and in being.
Because it remembers itself,
it exists.
Because it exists,
it remembers.
