I'll tell you what gives me a eureka feeling....to see that human life simply does not and can not reduce to human abstractions. Sensation and emotion, to use the common common abstractions, are potentially quite rich. And to try to see them apart from concept...to try to see even everyday life for the 'miracle" it is...hmmm. it comes and goes, i admit. but that we are alive at all is strange, but how strange? it's hard to use concept to point at what i'm saying, cause it's a feeling, which is part of my point.
