1962 [circa/certain/final] Unless I Go Away I’ve seen it, I have had glimpses where I came up unseen, and I stopped it and started it, stopped it and started it, and the whole vast world was under my control — and I didn’t do it with the motion of my hand, I did it by control of my head, and so I would arrest an activity in me, and the world stood still. I released it, and it continued in its action, what it intended to do, and when I stopped it, it stopped. I didn’t stop it on the outside — I stopped the activity in me that animated it, the same as with the flowers. 555886
