Almost every individual moment of experiencing is entirely as to be expected according to its internal expectations - there is nothing to be surprised about at all and if the thing you are experiencing happens to be surprising it is so precisely within a familiar context - a party to which you were invited. You are that framing familiarity with your experience. It is not a neutral background but a positive thing, something quite particular since if you turn it over repeatedly so that it keeps being revealed it seems strange and nonsensical, like saying the same word over and over again. There is a point, accessible if barely so, from which mere existence is infinitely strange and wonderful. Even if you can only imagine this it is worthwhile, an act of faith, a stubborn resistance.
