“Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it's there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It's a wave.<br /> <br /> And then it crashes in the shore and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it's one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it's supposed to be."<br /> -The Good Place


I poke the back of my hand

with my left index finger,

and for a moment,

I picture that finger moving

without resistance

right through my hand,

and out of my open palm.

But my finger hits skin,

and it is stopped in its tracks.
