Beginning will be an experience, unfolding more it runs its course, we will follow, doing and undergoing.

We have no particular end or plan.

We could head out, in, off, over, north, we are doing so.

Which?

The answer must be deferred just as I write this, a child comes into the room with a book always a little differently, he says, I don't like gloom, so much the better, I say.

Something is happening.

To the book?

Yes, to me.
