Glory to the newborn beings
We borrow some of our Christmas cheer from the library. An Immense World by Ed Yong is one book that you should check out yourself.
All of you who have heard me rave on about the joys of your 42+ senses for these last fifteen years, know that I want the whole world to wake up their senses.
It’s much better than wokeness. It’s awakening to the world.
“wokeness” limits itself largely to human justice. We need a much, much larger sense of awakening than that, if we are to help one another and the planet.
When we step out into the actual world, we can open our eyes as newborns, and see that the world is over-flowing with fascinating fellow beings.
