Having Sex, Owning a Cat, Hanging with a Shaman

It's funny, probably the most important stuff to know, is impossible to explain. You are either there - to experience it, to live it, or you are not.

There's no translation that works. By the time you filter it through your brain, and try to explain it, speak it, write it down, it's basically gone, or the essence of it is squeezed out.

I guess, it's sort of like trying to explain what sex is, as opposed to actually having sex. Or dissecting a cat, as opposed to owning a cat. Or hanging out with a Shaman Woman, as opposed to describing what happened when you were in her presence.

ETC.
