I'm grateful for the gestalt

total from particulars

knowing at once

instinctual

photons array beams of light

impressive images emerge

from pointillist marks

some Higgs Bosons, a few quarks

to keep you off track

what do you see?

an old hag

or a fancy young lady?

a glass from Chablis

or faces about to kiss?

holographic holons

more is different

symbol exceeds referent

beyond eyes that see

ears that hear

tongue that tastes

skin that takes textures, temperature

fascial proprioception

otolith pebbles eerie gyroscope of motion

an agglomeration of comfort

a felt sense the animal is safe

optimal grip on affordances of umwelt

complexity at its finest

pounce thrust ricochet as reptile

cuddle softly stroke lick in the limbic

spinifex of text complicated complex

checksum of the neocortex

systems within systems within systems

sense the shapes not just measure

topology of ontology

metaphysics of physics

alchemy of chemistry

talk in riddle & rhyme

as Ophelia mad in love

flowery flow forever

one cannot push against the river

all in all, is all we all are.
