The Twelve Senses
In The World of Nature
Silence stillness immensity
forest stretching endlessly
snow covered,
quietly breathing its tremendous,
wide, conifer expanse
And the sough of wind rising and falling
Most beings here , plant or animal,
are melded into this spacious and soul-purifying landscape
As is the human
But the human is also, at least in part, separate from the land.
And human nature can discern,
by way of the 12 senses,
aspects and nuances of the natural world through these 12 portals.
