I think you’re starting at the right point (reflection with reflexivity). You’ll know, I’m sure, TS Eliot’s quote: ‘Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past’.
I’m thinking about ‘possibles’ and any ideas will come back.
At this point three doves named Rappee, Berwick and Black are fluttering around in my craniosphere 😎 Would be great to start off with an extension of an established Toque classic. Black, coarse and moist (by definition, of course). And (personal preference) plain and higher in nicotine. Thus (it worked for those ‘other guys’ 😊 with Brunswick), lose the mild scenting – just well sweated leather plus light smokiness tobacco. And, on the nicotine, I do it myself anyway – a quarter teaspoon of Toque Rustica goes into my Berwick Brown snuffbox, ‘matter of course”.
