The quote below is from Peter Berger's Sacred Canopy" written in 1967. I find it profoundly describes one of the more disturbing aspects of my present distressing liminal condition.
p. 17 – "The world is maintained as subjective reality by the same sort of conversation, be it with the same or with new significant others (such as spouses, friends, or other associates). If such conversation is disrupted (the spouse dies, the friends disappear, or one comes to leave one’s original social milieu), the world begins to totter, to lose its subjective plausibility. In other words, the subjective reality of the world hangs on the thin thread of conversation."
~ Peter Berger, "The Sacred Canopy" 1967.
