| Favorite Books | The silence hissed in her ears and her vision was faintly distorted–-her hands in her lap appeared unusually large and at the same time remote as though viewed across an immense distance. She raised one hand and flexed its fingers and wondered as she had sometimes before how is this thing this machine for gripping this fleshy spider on the end of her arm came to be hers entirely at her command. Or did it have some little life of its own? She bent her finger and straightened it. The mystery was in the instant before it moved the dividing moment between not moving and moving when her intention took effect. It was like a wave breaking. If she could only find herself at the crest she thought she might find the secret of herself that part of her that was really in charge. She brought her forefinger closer to her face and stared at it urging it to move. It remained still because willing it to move or being about to move it was not the same as actually moving it. And when she did crook it finally the action seemed to start in the finger itself not in some part of her mind. When did it know to move when did she know to move it? There was no catching herself out. It was either-or. There was no stitching no seam and yet she knew that behind the smooth continuous fabric was the real self-- was it her soul?--which took the decision to cease pretending and gave it the final command. |
