Wouldn't it be Nice

To be able to be two places at once? Not to expedite things, or get more done; this is a consumerist way of looking at life. But for the sheer purpose of experiencing more. I speak as though the current life that we inhabit doesn't give us enough, and that's not quite what I mean to say. It just chooses to speak to us in intermittent spurts and lulls. It is quiet for a while and then, all of a sudden, there is too much to encircle with our hands, with our minds. Life isn't rationed out in neat portions - we are starved and then overfed, gorged on experiences. And I just think that perhaps it would be more prudent for us to be allowed to be in two places at once, or for there to be two of each of us, experiencing separate things, but reporting back to one another every evening or every week, in order to resolve, consolidate, learn, share.
