"Every time I dance in the street, I look up at the sky. Even if there is no breeze on earth, the wind stirs in the high heavens. Suddenly I'm swinging on the wind and looking down from above at my other self on the ground below, which is gazing at the sky. My ego on earth is now just a point. Already the shadows of the people are fading and now the city is no bigger than a coffee cup... I keep floating away until I finally end up in a quiet bar on another planet."
