Inside or Outside?

 Outside I feel connected across space with everyone

as our shared veil lifts and falls, billows... 

Then, having stepped inside, I am outside of time, 

suspended, 

resting in symbiosis, 

unity

without beginning or end... 

Then, outside, I am inside 

the burden of time and its weight, speed, responsability... 

It's language...

I drop the veil behind me… 

I make a final gesture, 

Standing tall, erect, veil-shawl draped over my head, my shoulders… 

I stand here,

yes, it's possible,

here between inside and outside,

in structure and formlessness 

in unity.
