The voice asked her if she was far enough away to die, to dissolve

She was holding her breath to his words.
´Yes´, she carefully answered.

´What would you miss?’ he asked her.

‘I would miss words.’

‘What if I promise you there is something far more better than words?’

‘I would miss touch.’

‘Your soul is more accomplished in the art of touch than your body ever will be.’

‘I would miss the company of other people.’

‘Why do you assume you will be alone?’

She paused and tried to think for seconds of moments that seemed to last for centuries.

‘You think you have been attached to this body, like an anchor to a ship, keeping it in one place. Weighing you down.
What if you were to be not only the ship and the anchor, but the sea and the universe all together?
What if it is the thought of missing something that is keeping you from already having everything if you would just let go of thoughts?’

‘Then I would go anywhere, no, I would already be everywhere.’

‘Exactly’, he said.
‘So, be.’
