I am one who has always been interested only in the edges of the body and the spirit, the outlying regions of the body and the outlying regions of the spirit.

Nothing, perhaps, save a few ribbons, dangling down into the void.

But there's always something else at the end; something at least a little different. You never know what that thing will be, but it's there.
