Summary
What if, suddenly, it’s midnight? The usual navigational tools are not available.
The reaching is the important component of this moment. Understanding the suffering we fabricate, which separates us, versus a fitting suffering which opens our hearts in connection. There is a feeling of being carried in one seamless movement: a symphony of life.
The feeling of not being carried can also overtake us—and we are in danger of sinking.
We can limit our definitions of being carried and through that we experience fear when conditions we are comfortable with are changing. We want control. A compulsion to act, to do something, will emerge.
What do we do to get out of this situation?
The self is essentially effort. —John Tarrant
