ANATOMY OF AN ITCH
Every itch begins from a place of itchlessness, or, no itchness. From the moment an itch is made manifest, it quickly progresses from annoying to maddening. Scratching brings temporary relief, which is always followed by worse itching. Left alone, however, most itches simply vanish. This is no simple feat. To leave an itch unattended, one has to experience the itch in real time. That requires suspension of judgment. The itch is neither good nor bad. Pleasant or awful. It simply is. So the question I have to ask myself is, "Can I not scratch for two more years? Six years? Ever again?"
