Cold. Depth. These two aspects of reality are entwined. To be cold is to feel deeply, to experience intensities of the body that cannot be ignored. Neither cold nor depth are always comfortable. They can be, but they needn’t. Cold. Depth. Water. Air. Skin. Experiencing the cold is a process, becoming cold as a constant witness of your body’s contact with the ‘outside’ world. Feeling cold as a testament to your connection and (inter)dependency with the ‘outside’ in order to feel at all. Where does the depth of the cold come from? Where does it’s intensity come from? From the ‘outside’? From your body, your skin, your nerves? Air and water as mediums and metaphors of the cold are helpful here. Where is air? Where is water? They have no fixed position in actual (moving) existence. Neither does the cold. Cold being a form of movement. When feeling the cold, you’re embodying deep vibrations, making them possible, the body-you-are becoming a medium for the cold. When feeling the cold, you are sharing an experience of reality with the air, with the water, with the ground, with the trees and the fungi in your skin… Do with that reality what you might.
