billy's basic detachment practice

[Billy]

I have just been reiminded by serloco the serious business of the mainstay practice of detachment.  Imagine holding a head of chilled iceberg lettuce in your hand.  Dig your fingers in and feel the cold, crispy sensation as you separate that bulky head into two objects. 

   This is a new idea to me..  that is to ascertain the qualities of coldness, crispness, focus, and concentrated action to pull substance apart.  That is, detachment should have these qualities.  Thank you for clarifying this serloco.
