Could it be? The signs from a parallel universe? From far above? From a world beyond human comprehension? How could it be? They seem to be suggesting something. Or am I reading too much into them? Are my close-reading skills off?

I can only imagine what the vast Universe is trying to communicate to me. Suppose it is. Suppose it does have a message for me. The signs must have been planted many, many light years ago. Many lifetimes ago. I dare not surmise the unequivocal message it is trying to get across to me.

I have been learning to embrace uncertainty, to avoid collapsing the states, to love the unknown – until it started to slap sign after sign right in front of my face. I wasn’t even looking for them. They just appeared. My mind was elsewhere. Inside my thoughts. Inside my labyrinthine cognition.

But how can it be? Nada. No way. There was no way. There is no way. No way out of this meta-reality. How did I end up in this world? I can barely recall the exact point in time when I became so attuned to the Universe. I still consider myself a novice. Ish.

You? Soy milk. Love transcends all boundaries. I had thought that was some hackneyed, marketable shit. Turns out it isn’t, it seems. When? When did you start loving me? Did my competitive streak not scare you away? Were my moves not asking for it? Why? Or did my questions tickle you? Who is that insolent girl?

Appearances are deceiving. I wish I hadn’t given myself away with those bold questions. Then we would still be merry in ignorance of each other’s feelings.

Have I actually got it right this time round, Universe? Oh yes! After all this time. After all this. That is how you reveal the truth to me. Very original. No “aha” revelatory moment. No spotlight. No dramatic sign. I still don’t think so.

Before the signs had also been very clear. But maybe I had missed something. The Universe wasn’t trying to tell me that. It was trying to tell me because of that I was stuck in incessant karmic cycles.

Nada. I have broken the spell. But how can I know this is not some other illusion? Well, the signs. The Universe would have raised its voice at you.
