Distance
Are you far away from me?
Then how is it you are reading my words here?
Which one are you going to believe: the map or your spirit? One says I am miles and miles away, one says I am near. When you think kindly of something, it comes near too. Doesn't it? Or is the map still telling the true story?
And time, what of that? Years pass by but it seems like only yesterday you were doing those things. Which is correct, the clock or your spirit? Is there something wrong with you that means you cannot be believed, or should we trust your feeling?
Today I saw Beat Takeshi in Zatoichi. Zatoichi, the blind masseur - where is space to him? When he hears you he is with you, next to you, in your place, seeing your movement and moving with you. Everything is close.
And someone who remembers everything, what is time to him? Everything is close, and time is something false. Everything is close.
Come closer! Or, at least, no need to go further away.
