You're in there. Better safer than that, you will never know again. You start like a fern ... you live for nine months like a fish. You are a fish. Then comes the first crying; the first breath. After that you continue breathing, but you cry less. Do you breathe less? Think for a while the sea. It tastes like tears. There are thousands of first breaths gathered. The hands in the water wrinkle. As if to rush to grow old. The aged bodies in the water rejuvenate. As if time is over. Or like returning to the beginning. When they felt like fish in the water. There is no memory. There is no end.
