A corpse is not motionless Michelle,decay moves rapidly in warm conditions.
Motion implies the need to go from say A to B,butif you are at both of these locations
already,and are ubiquitous it would become absurd to want to move,for where could you
possibly go that you were not all ready present at??

Humilty,coupled with boldness,surprises truth to
reveal herself?
