right to left, right to left

EXCERPT from The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac, 1958

With my sneakers it was as easy as pie to just dance nimbly from boulder to boulder... Don't think. Just dance along. It's the easiest thing in the world, actually easier than walking on flat ground which is monotonous. The cute little problems present themselves at each step and yet you never hesitate and you find yourself on some other boulder you picked out for no special reason at all.

In logical terms, it seems that loss should result in less. The exception would lie in the mistake of accounting - of what had been accounted for at the time prior to loss. It is in some rare cases that the experience of loss results not in less, but more; it is the most painful and illogical kind. This kind of a loss works to disintegrate any expectation of what one did or did not have in the first place. It renders a harsh realization that one had been left with everything and more, that the account of normalcy prior had been false. The guise of normalcy, rather, had been diligently produced second by second, nearly to a billion, to form a kind of quiet immensity, incomparable in value. In spite of expectations, a person is left with unimaginably more.
