I think I've posted this on saidit before,
but its one of my favorites and I like to be mindful of it, thought I'd share it again

The body is just a vessel, we are little tadpoles.
Brains, that send out circuitry into our body vehicle, so we can get around.

It's so important to take care of the vessel we're in,
Big Time direct relationship between body and brain (and mind)

This is an interesting pic.

But the brain is the body too 🤨

And how can you be the body? Every cell in your body is replaced numerous times over your lifetime, yet your consciousness stays the same.

And there are 380 trillion viruses in your body and 30 trillion bacteria, yet only about 40 trillion cells with your own DNA.

hey man, are you sure you are the same? you remember anything of 7 years ago besides you talking or even thinking about it?

I would say that memory is different than consciousness. Your awareness and consciousness appears to stay the same.
