74/100 - Relaxed orange dragon
The small dragon is enjoying the experience of being held with a trusting attitude. The big dragon-head character is contemplating what it means to hold this small creature, feeling the scaly texture and the tiny gripping claws. What do they have in common? Is there anything in their experience of being that is at all similar?
If I could safely download my consciousness into another creature and retain the memory of the experience I would jump at the opportunity. I'd love to be a cat for a day, or a bird naturally, experiencing autonomous flight would be fantastic. I would be reluctant to trying insects at first, but I bet a technology like this would quickly become exhilarating and we would be in search for more distant forms of consciousness. What is it like to be fungi? Or a tree? And is it even a translatable experience?
The orange dragon in this 3.5" by 4" picture might be asking some of the same unanswerable questions. Available here(sold).
