Ponder your five senses

[trekkor]

Sight:
Close-up, far away, low light, all the colors with auto focus.

Hearing:
Soft, loud, faint, music, or a whispered word, all in a tiny package.

Taste:
Salt, sweet, bitter, sour, spicy...how many flavors have you tried?

Touch:
Hot, cold, rough, smooth, sharp, dull...Your hands tell you many things.

Smell:
A good meal, after a rain on a warm day, in a cave, at the beach, at the zoo...There's some funky ones too

Add to this the ability to think, remember, speak, and care about others. Knowing right from wrong.


Ponder the power of the brain and all it's marvels most which science knows very, very little about.

Are you impressed?

Yeah, my five are doing OK, but my sixth has really been sleeping on the job lately.

I was at the Grand Canyon Last year.

Sensory overload.

It's too big to comprehend. When you get the first glance you think to yourself, "that can't be real".

You get that sinking in your gut, " I'm tiny ".

Be men...

Bah, it's just another hole in the ground.

It is pretty cool but consider this: You only take in about 1/1,000,000th of your "reality" (some people even less!)

The following doesn't even show the bigger waves.

I always thought it was interesting that your brain doesn't really process all that you see. It sort of "interpolates" a lot of stuff. That's why eyewitness testimony is suspect because you don't really "see" what is there most of the time - your brain thinks it knows what you're seeing and simply fills in the blanks with what it expects is really there.

There have been some very interesting experiments regarding this. I am reading an interesting book right now written by Carl Sagan - "Dragons of Eden". Basically a book on the evolution of human intelligence, etc. Very interesting.

You don't have to believe in a higher being to be simply blown away by the natural world around us. I often stand outside at night and just look up at the stars. Awesome.

This crowd fully surprises me.

I fully expected a:
"who cares, that's just evolution at work...boring".

Hmmmm...I'll have to try harder next time.
