Thought flows in one's native language. Sentences to express this thought are as easily constructed, language and words emerging, flowing, as if they were thought itself. But the relationship between language and thought does not necessarily work like this in the body of a foreigner. There is a productive pause between words as the body of a foreigner slowly grasps at what it wants to say in the foreign language. But in order to listen to, and to hear, what the body has to say, we need to clean the body. Then, we enter the body to listen to the body. The body saves the paths of the thoughts and later on, we retrieve the words from the body. And that is why I found myself wandering around my Body, once upon a time.
