feeling infinite

5/25/01

     I read this thing in a book once (I don't remember exactly which book) that interested me; it was a fantasy book, so it's not exactly the same as real life, but anyway... They were talking about how if you were outside of time, and looking at a cat or something, you see not just the present middle-aged cat, but also the kitten that it once was and the old cat that it will become, and everything in between. It's like when you're in an old, old place, and you think of how many people have been there before you, in the exact place, and you can imagine all of that activity, all at once, right there with you. All of the people who have ever been right there, and you, and all of the people who are gonna be there after you. It's a crazy idea.
     I hope that makes sense to you. That is how I feel sometimes, that I am not just the current Kat, but I am also the Kat that I was before, and I am the future me, all at once.
     Foo. That doesn't make any sense.
