I came here because of your comment on Dave King's wonderful Lascaux post. <br /><br />Natural sounds are one of the things that make life worthwhile. My windows are open all the time. Once my wife and I were camping deep inside a national forest. The silence was absolute. When the sun went down we couldn't see our hands in front of our faces. After a while we thought we heard something, then we were sure we could, but we didn't know what it was. We became frightened, then we realized we were hearing the sound of our hearts beating.Mark Kerstetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307987573435067415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7166728013994334088.post-7911592140061012882009-07-27T19:37:52.579-04:002009-07-27T19:37:52.579-04:00hi bonnie, the deep mapping of sensory information...hi bonnie, the deep mapping of sensory information is truly amazing. i can smell certain perfumes, hear certain sounds, see a certain picture and an entire experience opens out. <br />to me that's magic! <br />when i first saw this poem i did say it out loud. it's so sensory, it's good to slow some parts of it down and to let the visuals flood your mind's eye. have a lovely evening. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7166728013994334088.post-52237159761796715402009-07-27T19:12:07.067-04:002009-07-27T19:12:07.067-04:00How important are our senses.

Sounds like fragrance can immediately transport us to another time and place. And if we don't hear sounds in the present - we imagine them - as I imagine the sound of your voice reciting the poem.Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.com
