I think a lot of this - intimate self-engagement with my body, I suppose - is, again, born of necessity. I was discussing this yesterday, with people - the way I obsessively self-monitor both brain and body, because if I get characteristically unusual or qualitatively unfamiliar pain, that's a sign that something might be seriously wrong. There was also an awful lot of probing, of "am I making this up?" And still, and still - reminding myself to be here, to be present, is still sometimes strange and unfamiliar.
