statement
We are not stable consciousness.
We are living in a moment being here and there.
My outline is always waving like a noise.
Surroundings, thoughts, knowledges, informations, memories, expectations...
These come in me and go out one after another.
Selfness is just an obsession.
This wave is the very myself.
I want to throw myself into the richness in between here and there.
