chapter 3
Indeed, I had an insight. In this I was in the middle of a desert. A fully crowded desert, I must say. I started walking on the path that everybody else seemed to be walking on. I was part of a greater community. I wondered if their destination was the same as mine. I had a feeling that something invisible was flowing through us in the opposite direction. I also had a feeling that this was not the only instance of me at that moment. I looked beside and saw myself travelling among the lot. Suddenly it was very cold, but this only made us walk faster and with a greater organisation. But I got lost into the desert. I was not to meet my cotravellers ever again.
Desert
I started walking
As a Part of some Whole
Countless numbers of Shadows
Were flowing through me
They did not stop me
Since I was their Cause
But there may be but Entropy

Suddenly it was cold
Yet it was easy to walk
Now I could see
What this was about
With a small Thought of smile
I took my steps with the rest
Though this was about to come to an End
I so wish there was free Will
There was another Instance of me:
I was travelling among the lot
Not as one but as two
Synchronised
I looked beside and saw myself
Indeed, I had an insight
of the shifting desert sands
I could not see, but I could sense
The vicinity of my new destination
Losing contact
With all the rest
I channelled through
Doomed to be alone
