The car effortlessly follows the graceful curves of the road. I sit, relaxed, tranquil, at peace, hands resting gently on the steering wheel, more a passenger, an observer. The car, the road, the deep gorge, the gibbous moon overhead, the moonlight reflecting from the river below, the driver – all are in blissful harmony. The pavement with its stripes and multi-colored retreating spots of light looms out of the darkness, dim in the distance and growing in intensity as it approaches, becomes clear for a brief moment and then disappears underneath me into nothingness, eternity. I feel as though I have swallowed it up, absorbed the whole intimate scene into my body, fusing it into the oneness I feel.
