Sense-abilities
What if we have senses
more than five
say twice or thrice
the six commonly
accepted
though
science accounts for
but five and the sixth
is numbered not named?
Orbis Sensualium Pictus
Why the limit
to the digits of one hand
to bodily organs
when so many sense
our energy fields
sensory perceptions
and their combined
potentialities
lead to multiplicities
ever so much greater?
What if the old myths tell
more than we’ll admit?
What if history tells less?
Consider the giant stones
s t a n d i n g
or fallen the world over
healing waters
miracles
Who says you might
be more or not?
What if we are far more
in every aspect of our being
more able to sense
and make sense
than what is apparent
in the mainstream current
presently ushering along
schools of streamed red herrings?
Consider our sense
of our senses:
the outer radiating
to most at present
invisibly f a r
from our immaterial
pulsating energetic core
and simultaneously drawing
in details through the skin
the inner going deep
into existential wellsprings
of our being
To which senses
do you most pay heed?
And which dismiss?
Do you find five sufficient?
What is the state of your sixth?
Has débris perhaps piled up
dammed the flow?
compromised reception?
Do you even know?
What if there were more
fallen out of favour
as the aether?
Are you in or out
of touch with your
self sense?
soul sense?
In or out of time to notice
what matters
matter?
Some go well beyond the
Aristotlean five to teach twelve
Comenius drew five
yet listed eight
And some make jokes
about extra-sensory perception
woo woo woo
But what if there is more
to senses and to us?
Pressing question?
And so
the Widow Wyile muses
upon the intersections
intercommunications
interconnections
within the giant living
luminous grid of
inner and outer
upon the expansive
awakening force
of beauty
wonder awe
grace
creative imagination
kinship
abiding love
seven sense-abilities
everyone can tune to
t-t-t-oooo-oooo-oooo
amplify inner-standing
of the flow of all
in One
