[[Hi!]]My name is Nao and I am a time being. Do you know what a time being is?
[[Of course]]
[[Who are you?]]The time-being is like this. Arriving is overwhelmed by arriving, but not by not-arriving. Not-arriving is overwhelmed by not-arriving, but not by arriving. Mind overwhelms mind and sees mind, words overwhelm words and see words. Overwhelming overwhelms overwhelming and sees overwhelming. Overwhelming is nothing but overwhelming. This is time. As overwhelming is caused by you, there is no overwhelming that is separate from you. Thus you go out and meet someone. Someone meets someone. You meet yourself. Going out meets going out. If these are not the actualization of time, they cannot be thus.
[[:)]]Well if you give me a moment [[I will tell you]]A time being is someone who lives in time, and that means you, and me, and every one of us who is, or was, or ever will be. As for me, right now I am sitting in a French maid café in Akiba Electricity Town, listening to a sad chanson that is playing sometime in your past, which is also [[my present]], writing this and wondering about you, somewhere in my future. And if you’re reading this, then maybe by now [[you’re wondering about me, too]].The time is [[10:52->you're wondering about me, too]] on November 18th, 2009You wonder about me.
I wonder about you.
Who are you and what are you doing?
Are you in [[a New York subway car hanging from a strap]], or are you at home petting a cat [[whose forehead smells like cedar trees and fresh sweet air]]?I want to know more about you, but first [[I will tell you]] who I amThe End.
[[Start Over]] Do you [[have a destination]], maybe just a person you love, or [[are you alone like me]]?Are you a [[male]] or a [[female]] or [[somewhere in between]]?Hello! I will call you Oliver. [[It's nice to meet you]]!Hello! I will call you Ruth. [[It's nice to meet you]]!Hello! I will call you Schrodinger. Or maybe Pesto. [[It's nice to meet you]]!Well you aren't alone anymore! You have me now: Nao! :) Is [[your girlfriend cooking you a yummy dinner]] or are you [[eating cold Chinese noodles from a box]]?Actually, it doesn’t matter very much, because by the time you read this, everything will be different, and you will be nowhere in particular, flipping idly through the pages of this book, which happens to be the diary of my last days on earth, wondering if [[you should keep on reading]].
And if you decide [[not to read any more]], hey, no problem, because you’re not the one I was waiting for anyway.I think I'll call you Ruth. [[It's nice to meet you]] :)I've been waiting for you for so long. And guess what? You're my kind of time being and together we'll make magic! [[:)]]The End.
[[Start Over]] Are you curled up with [[your back turned coldly toward her]], or are you [[eagerly waiting for your beautiful lover to finish his bath]] so you can make passionate love to him?I will call you Haruki. [[It's nice to meet you]]!Hello! I will call you Oliver. [[It's nice to meet you]]!Hello! I will call you Babette. [[It's nice to meet you]]!
