Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Our senses and what they give rise to are, when well-contemplated, mind-boggling in every respect. We tend to take them for granted and underappreciate their scope and depth, if we appreciate them at all.
#2 The poet David Wright describes the experience of his deafness as seldom being devoid of a sense of sound. He notes that the sound of the rain, which he had never before paid much attention to, now delineates a whole landscape for him.
#3 We can learn and be astonished by the capabilities of those who have suffered the loss of one or more sense, and made extraordinary accommodations and adjustments in both body and mind to fashion a full life. We can learn from purposefully giving some attention to the natural world, which beckons to us and offers itself to us through all our senses at once.
#4 The spell of the sensuous is no further than the sound of the rain taken in, the feel of the air on the skin, the warmth of the sun on our backs, or the look in your dog’s eye when you come near. We can feel it, know it, and be embraced by it.

#1

Our senses and what they give rise to are, when well-contemplated, mind-boggling in every respect. We tend to take them for granted and underappreciate their scope and depth, if we appreciate them at all.

#2

The poet David Wright describes the experience of his deafness as seldom being devoid of a sense of sound. He notes that the sound of the rain, which he had never before paid much attention to, now delineates a whole landscape for him.

#3

We can learn and be astonished by the capabilities of those who have suffered the loss of one or more sense, and made extraordinary accommodations and adjustments in both body and mind to fashion a full life. We can learn from purposefully giving some attention to the natural world, which beckons to us and offers itself to us through all our senses at once.

#4

The spell of the sensuous is no further than the sound of the rain taken in, the feel of the air on the skin, the warmth of the sun on our backs, or the look in your dog’s eye when you come near. We can feel it, know it, and be embraced by it.

#5

The field near my house is a constantly changing display of light and shadow, form and color. It is a challenge for me to see that such a display is everywhere, and to take advantage of it.

#6

I love to sit in the southwest corner of the field, which overlooks the entire field, except for the interior of the cow shed and what it obscures in my line of sight. The sun hangs fairly high in the mid-morning sky on July 4th, soaking the field in intense light and heat.

#7

When we walk, we see the world through our senses. When we give ourselves over to attending, when we allow ourselves to come to and live within our senses, we become aware of how much separation there is between us and the view.

#8

We see what we want to see. We look but may not comprehend. We must train ourselves to see through or behind the appearances of things if we want to experience life fully.

#9

The French word regarder, to look at, is a worthy object of attention. It is not just seeing that is important, but also being seen. And if that is true for each of us, it is true for all of us, for any and every other.
