We are lost inside our bodies. Alone, exiled from true belonging. Everything we talk about is driven by a hope for connection. We are caught in the chemistry and nervous system of a creature who fights and runs, whose brain evolved to foresee danger and separate experience into good and bad. Our minds, judging and predicting, trap us in a binary world -- safe/dangerous, right/wrong, good for me/bad for me, lose/keep.
We do what we know how to do. We reach with words, we hit, we hurt, we run. We try -- with only our eyes and minds -- to see, to find the "whole."
