Superposition
‘…the quantum effect where particles exist concurrently in multiple places – has, historically speaking, only been thought to apply to tiny, subatomic particles.’  Dr Stefan Forstner, University of Queensland. 
If the speed of human thought is 10 bits per secondthen for a tenth of a second this morning I was both
running alongside the A20 and at home still curledbeneath the duvet, as if I was experiencing a parallel life, 
as if I was existing in two places at once, for a moment,the blink of an eye, a heartbeat, an instant, a jiffy, a trice. 
I know about the expansion of time in dreams, how hours are compressed into minutes, how our subconscious taps
into a limitless store of thoughts and feelings, an infinitenumber of things touched, smelled, heard, spoken, or seen.
But how in a waking state could I be so convinced of beingconcurrently here and there, both moving and still?
The sky is a persistence of cloud, its low mist erasing trees, meeting fields, dampening my face, my hair; I feel like 
a conduit between two states: earth and water. Perhaps we always exist in dualities but rarely notice. Perhaps I am
beginning to understand both the beauty and decay of my wondrous life, the gift and theft of inevitable death.
