It feels as if these thoughts are coming from inside my head. How odd, that we can sense the placement of our brain. I'm here, it says. up here, look!

I am aware of myself as never before because a part of me is missing. I focus on my legs, my feet, my toes; my brain knows the distance; knows if the toes are higher, lower, moving, hot or cold.

It's no use, I can't sleep. A cup of tea, a book.
