Then they ask the question: Rate your pain on a scale of one to ten? I try to answer, but the correct answer is always anumerical. Sensation is the enemy of quantification. There is no machine, yet, to which a nervous system can submit sensation to be transformed into a sufficiently descriptive measurement.

"Often you can read an instructional manual or a textbook or whatever, without paying all that much attention. You skim your way through it to get to the heart of the matter. But you can't read poetry that way. Poetry slows you down. And anything in our world now that slows us down is to be valued and maybe as a gift and even a calling from God."
