If our understanding have a film of ignorance over it, or be blear with gazing on other false glitterings, what is that to truth?"

-- John Milton

It seems to me sometimes that these experiences have an "inner" side, as well as the outer side we normally perceive. At such moments one suddenly sees everything with new eyes; one feels on the brink of some great revelation. It is as if we caught a glimpse of some incredibly beautiful world that lies silently about us all the time.”

I don't feel sad when I have to leave things out, put them in the safe, and not have them in public.
