• There is space around it.
• There is a conversation going.
• There are places to enter and places to leave.
• There is a structure.
• There is a returning.
• There is both earth, and non-earth.
• There is a “there” there.
• The inner most part is the inevitable you.
• There is a reaching out.
• There is a question.
• There is not an answer.
• There is listening.
• There are eyes.
• There is the living thing, the growing thing.
• There is fear.
• There is both light and darkness.
• There is balance.
• There is a pattern and flow.
• There is a continuing.
• There is a connectedness.
• There is an endless and also, an end.
