Once he had lived with his new awareness and gotten used to it, he
wished to share it with others.  When the breakdown first happened, he
was left without ability to share what he saw.  Gradually, he had
recovered from the original shock, and spent time with his new
awareness trying to understand it.  Now he fully understood it,
although not with words, but did not know how to communicate it.

There was a wide divide between his personal understanding and its
agreement in the Social Layer, which is where he wanted to place it.
He felt alone, and wanted it discussed between other people.  Every
word that he thought of as part of a description was insufficient, and
just plain wrong.  He read how others had done it, but did not have
the patience for all the questions that would spring forth.  However,
he also did not want to remain alone with his new understanding.

He sat in front of the computer and surfed around.  He found a nice
slide show that kind of was in tune with his awareness.  A little more
surfing brought forth the perfect music to expand upon the slide show.
 Visual and auditory, was that enough?  He was feeling something
similar but much much more intense.  He opened the window a bit to let
the night air in.  Yes!  That was it, that cool breeze fit right in.
Not only that but the night blooming jasmine was expressing itself
fully at that time.  But how many people know about that breeze and
that smell.

He decided that he could not share it over the computer.  He would
have to wander the lands and find people who he could show directly.
An while such a journey seemed long, he knew that by doing it that
way, he would no longer feel alone.
