I watch a child discovering the world around him. What if I clean my mind of all preconceived notions? How will places and spaces and the things within appear to me?
The space behind the door is just a hiding place. It has nothing to do with letting people in and out. The tree outside has birds perched on it, but I need to figure out how to get there. The moon is within reach, maybe in a mirror I can touch.
Everything around depends on me to give it a name. The identity of objects is so malleable that I can create a whole new world with different names.
it makes sense only
if I can relate to it
places and spaces
house the body, mind and soul
but I choose when, how and where
Such a wonderful write!! 💕💕

Reaching for the moon, I have heard I tried to do that, and asked my father to bring it to me.
