Ever notice how the wind blows, as if it knows, as if it once was something else and now just flows, surrounding everything. Ever notice how the anger goes, as if it rose, from somewhere smaller than itself, then forgot its source, surrounding everything. Ever notice how the grief slows, as if it holds, as if it once was only love learning another motion, surrounding everything. Ever notice how a dream unfolds, as if no boundary ever really mattered, as if waking was only another way of dreaming through everything. Then the second arrives - the exact second you notice. Whatever was flowing becomes aware it is being watched. A tiny hesitation. It continues, only different now. Ever notice how the thought outgrows the mind that sowed it, as if it only borrowed you before continuing... loosening, finding everything. — UpsilonA




„the second arrives - the exact second you notice” - observer effect x
That pause, the second you notice, and the thing hesitates. I felt it while reading, not just read about it.
