I think that it is advisable to test one's feelings out, on oneself, sometimes quite rigorously. This may sound strange, and it might be a little, or it might be impossibly obvious, but I've been noticing more lately the importance of cross-examining feelings, especially those that aren't being particularly helpful or contributing anything useful. This investigation is done simply by moving yourself through different scenes and environments, through different volumes and varied scenery. In doing this, one can swiftly and effectively sift the loosely-knit feelings from the denser ones, because the sort of feelings that stand up and leave without a fight when you open just one window, when you cut a piece of ripe fruit almost perfectly in half, when you run as fast as possible down a hallway, they are not the ones you need to keep going back to, and certainly not the ones you need to carry.
