When I think about the lake, I am under the deep green water.
When I think about the mountain, I am thousands of feet in the air breathing the sweet mountain air.
When I think about running, I am at terminal velocity--at light speed--the fastest I can imagine going.
Descartes was right, but there's something more.
I think in the plural. Therefore, I am here and there.
I am everywhere I've ever been and everywhere I've seen on TV and in magazines. I'm the black boy eating rice and the Royal Prince. I'm my food and the plates and table I eat off of. I am the frequencies of light that neither you or I will ever see. We are in our breath. We are in the water beating in each others hearts.
Not even my words, thoughts, and actions are boundaries for the sub-division of existence I label as "I". As existence wets the fabric of time and space, I am expanding with it.
And even though I am unstoppably divergent, I find you wherever I go.
