this is entanglement, there are no difficulties nowhere, the moment is

challenge we accept or refuse.

" provisionally " , " subjectively " , leave the objects where they are at,

and deal with how you seek objects or refuse them.

Well Kip's attitude is what it is and Eric's and Niz could have

movements of anger and so did Ramana and all of us are for the best,
