It's mostly the chattering elaboration of situations and to say that it is hard to stop short and enter the essential freedom of awareness is to make of that its own situation and story. But you are in the current of a strong wind pushing you along and there is no reason to turn around and face it even if you do so from time to time out of nothing but a kind of contrarian whim. It's not the particular situation, this one for example, writing something every day, it's something about any and every situation, about situatedness as such. It can't be what it's taken to be without a ground, and the most obvious thing is that it lacks one. The blind assumption that you can start in the middle just because it's always been in the middle does not serve at all.
