About “About”
Every Social Networking Site asks the question “About.” Presumably to gain information about the person joining the site. This response might help:
“This is an impossible task . . . ‘About.’ There is no definition of ME. None. There is no context. I don’t know who or what I am — so how can I answer the inquiry suggested by ‘About?’ Sometimes I am aware of certain sensations, but they always change. Nothing remains permanent. I believe I’ve been captured and placed in a bag of skin — is this for my own protection or for the protection of others? Everyday is fleeting; then night arrives and my energy seems to drain away into the dark that surrounds everything. There is no ‘About!’
Response to the Question:
“I’ve entered another Zone — call it another Dimension if you like. Now I must find my way around without losing the basis for my existence (since that existence depended on a totally different set of reality-based facts). Everything has changed and I squawk like a fish out of water.”
