this feeling of uprootedness will not be named any longer. one will not know it anymore- it's here. either there is escape from it or no escape. 

what is it when there is no escaping, no wanting it to be different? just a new and open listening, feeling, looking, touching, tasting...

a single thought gets the whole organism going: a sinking feeling of danger, disaster, falling apart, or whatever. one single thought can be observed to evoke all the physical symptoms of panic. this signals the brain that there is something to be afraid of. more thoughts arise about possible dangers and escapes. what we're asking in all simplicity is: can there be a glimpse into this whole ongoing process, not interpretation or analysis, but the immediacy of insight?
