Seeing - When asked most people say they are open minded. But for me the question is not if they are open minded, but can they be, can I be. In the 18th century much was made of the writer as observer. I think that notion has been lost to some extent, but it is really at the heart of much writing, especially in "Crow Diary". An example, some people have the hardest time with a woman who doesnt shave her legs. They are put off by it and turn away from these type of women, doesnt bother me. I think one can miss out on some very pretty and talented women becasue of this bias. But a woman with a beard, it would take me a bit to get past that. I think the observer must understand his or her prejudices when observing, or they may miss out.

We know the world by our senses Knowing that removes mystery from modern science (if there is some for you) , the instruments and tools scientist employ are generally refinements of our senses. Without our ability to see and hear most of them would be of little value. Most of us would like an extra sensory capability But there is scant evidence of its existense We extend from what are senses tell us Flight can be well imagined by those who have not flown I have dreamed of flying, even woke with my arm tired (wierd I know{)
