Yes, precisely, Jim; many thanks! That's what I was trying to get at 
with the stitching image -- constantly crossing and recrossing the gap 
of ignorance, constantly encountering the not-self and re-membering it 
as self, suturing sutras of self-recognition. We manifest because we 
love to tell ourselves stories, and we love stories so much we are 
tempted to believe in them, and that's where the suffering seems to 
creep in...when we forget it's "only a movie" and start to take our 
subtitles as gospel :-)
