As a burden of self-awareness, we block ourselves from any real experience.  Flashes and glimers of anything else.  To live without such blinders, to look with piercing vision, to be fearless.

"And we shall look into the sun with a will, and we shall be dangerous."

"So what do we do now? What do we do?"

P.S. A challenge for anyone who can tell me where any of these 3 quotations come from.
