That was kind of my first thought, that one is making a rather rare attempt at independent balance and  so become sensitive to shifting ground. The inner ear etc. gets tuned into balance issues and sends messages to the inner narrative.

Chapter ends on interesting Note: On days of storm, according to Horst’s co-tenant Jake Pimento, it’s like being in the crow’s nest of a very tall ship, allowing you to look down at helicopters and private planes and neighboring high-rises. “Seems kind of flimsy up here,” to Ziggy.
