How do you know that you’re on the right path? Because it disappears. That‘s how you know.
How do you know that you‘re doing something really radical? Because you don’t. You can’t see where you‘re going. That’s how you know.
But everything you have lent on for your identity has gone. And so you‘re going to enter the black contemplative splendors of self-doubt. At the same time as you’re setting out on this new radical path. So you need to know how you know where you are.
