“Prioritize bodily experience. My eyes are very skilled; but they cannot see everything, and unless my five senses ally to deceive me, they can hardly do it. What forms the everything.Negative space is always full. I used to feel my limbs and be impressed at how much flesh I was able to grow on my own. I used to imagine my body as air in water and think I made for a big bubble. When air contains me, I am its negative space; when water contains me, and I contain air, I am the messenger. If only I was more conscious of my substance.Measurements are relative. I used to measure feet with my feet and inches with my thumbs (the French word for inches is 'pouce' which also means 'thumb'). My measurements never aligned with my dad’s longer feet, and with my mom’s longer hands. Metric was more reliable than a system that relies on the size of limbs. Once you know that, you have to start doing math homework.Everything is important. I used to think the world was infinite, infinite being the sun, the sun being the biggest ball my arms could form, this ball being the love I had for certain people whom I loved as big as the sun. The world is infinite because everything is important. Everything about everything is important, and its opposite. Explanations are illusions. We are surrounded by things we rely on so much that we forget their existence, their relationships, distant relatives that compose us. I will take my favorite parts and give them a touch, a place, a partner, a support, a beginning and/or an end, a future but not a past, a shape that won't seek to deceive you. And I hope you'll tell me about it.”
