slivers

 

“senses sensing”

imagine
all the humans and their senses
perceiving life right now
all the ears listening, all the eyes witnessing
all the tasting, all the touching

all the senses
cast like a vast net over planet Earth
observing life

each a uniquely colored lens
filtering experiences in their own way
each a fractal, a gem, a sliver of the whole

then,
imagine more senses sensing
all the birds perceiving life
all the elephants and the Lilies of the Valley . . .

and how about grains of sand?
do they sense life in their crystalline way?
where does it all begin and end, this living net of awareness?

“a sliver of the whole”
