- our relationships with the plants and animals and all the other elemental presences (soils, rainclouds, rivers...) who support and nourish us? It can only be because somehow we're oblivious to that direct, unmediated layer of carnal exchange which is always already going on - because we're oblivious to the bodily level of our existence. It is my body that steadily drinks of the oxygen breathed out by all the green and growing plants, and my body that breathes out the carbon dioxide these plants steadily draw upon in order to photosynthesise and flourish. It is this body, this muscled flesh that rests in intimate relationship with the tree-trunk I’m now sitting on. From walking barefoot in the garden or wandering through all these arroyos, my toes are well acquainted with the life and texture of the soil. But we don't live our body's life anymore. We live a life of abstractions, of mental cogitations massively influenced by all of the human-made artefacts and signals that surround us. We're incessantly reflecting off of our own reflections. We have been taught NOT to trust our senses, and our direct sensory experience. The senses, which are our most instinctive animal access to the world - our eyes, our ears, our tongue, our nostrils - these magic organs open us directly onto the more-than-human field! Yet we’ve been taught not to trust any of these powers; we're told that the senses lie, we're taught in school that the senses are deceptive.
