For now she need not think about anybody

For now she need not think about anybody. She could be herself, by herself. And that was what now she often felt the need of to think, well, not even to think. To be silent, to be alone. All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, to being oneself, a wedge-shaped core of darkness, something invisible to others.
