The Itch

Everyone has an itch they can not scratch, and not because it's in an out-of-the-way place, but because it's in an out-of-the-way time. In order to scratch this itch, it requires the proper use of all one's innerprizes.

In the meantime, before the serenetime, they content themselves with talk. Talk is the salve they spread all over themselves in hopes it will ameliorate the irritating itch, but it doesn't - and it can't; eventually, someone might discover that talk, itself, IS the itch!

All teachings are about how to get up to the edge of what you know.
Scratching the itch is about how to stay there.
