		<description>i&#039;d float with the wind, not stay on the floating cube.

but if ever i find myself on a floating cube, i&#039;d  take that moment to immerse myself in the experience.

so that when i find myself outside the cube again...

i&#039;ll have a stronger grasp of why i wanted to be floating with the wind in the first place.

not there plaintively sitting on that floating cube.

&lt;b&gt;freedom&lt;/b&gt;.

&lt;i&gt;we gain it when we lose it.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>when i find myself inside a floating cube, i focus on the vastness above. Up above, way beyond, that&#039;s where I get my balance.</description>

		<description>somehow I can&#039;t imagine myself ever being able to read an explanation of anything as such and nod and shrug and believe it so completely. I critique -everything-; I question everything. whether this is a good or bad thing.. hmm. anyway, so.. that in itself is hard to imagine.

i think there have to be more questions always surfacing, though. you can figure things out in certain contexts, and it&#039;s necessary to understand things or create an understanding to some degree so that you can live, and debate, and implement policy or create a revolution or whatever (so you don&#039;t submit to the intellectual laziness of relativism, as my history professor so succinctly put it); but to have no more questions at all??! about something so pivotal? or anything at all? god, that would be -terrible-.

i&#039;d be the one rushing from cube to cube.</description>

		<description>Looks fun...

set geometry=escher, 2
set gravity=local, 0

There. Now I can do the David Bowie as the Goblin King thing, hop from cube to cube, sit on top or underneath... It&#039;s just a matter of choice and reference.

		<description>First I would try to invent something, something to help me float without a cube.  Then I may realize that only by physically touching a cube does one experience this moment, and in that tiny moment, I will let go.  I would try to find someone else, to balance the cube out.  I might come across a puzzle of a cube, each side a different color and jumbled in sets of 9.

At one point I might try and find a way out, find the cube floating in a different direction than the other ones.  Only once in a lifetime will I see the sphere.  It will be incredibily hard to grasp and hold on to, even less of a chance that the other person will be able to hang on as well, but I will try.  And then tell stories across the void to other people on how the sphere shone righ there above me and I almost held on before it punched through but no.  I slipped and fell and that is that; the only thing to do now is tell stories, of the sphere that got away.</description>

		<description>I would be balanced... 
with both feet firmly planted - 
head thrown back - 
eyes shut (not from fear but because sight would not be necessary) -
arms wide open,
Savoring the breeze and sensation of flying.</description>
