ok, then, enough of this thinking about the mind. think about reality. think about the real world. the body's world. that's why i'm here. to think about reality. the best way to think about reality, i had decided, was to get as far away from it as possible--a place like the bottom of a well, for example.

even after i had seen her home and returned to my room, to lie in bed and look at the ceiling, i could sense the change. i was a new me, and i could never go back to where i had been before. what was getting to me was the awareness that i was no longer innocent. this was not a moralistic sense of wrongdoing, or the workings of a guilty conscience. i knew that i had made a terrible mistake, but i was not punishing myself for it. it was a physical fact that i would have to confront coolly and logically, beyond any question of punishment.
