Body of bliss

If you go walking through the woods on a warm autumn day, feeling the fallen oak leaves under your feet, smelling the ripe, dank earth, and watching the October light as it plays in the branches overhead, you are experiencing the world through your DNA. It imposes a definite selection on things. You are not smelling the argon and xenon gases in the air or seeing the sun’s ultraviolet emissions. You can walk through leaves but not through the wood of the trees. The incredible complexity of green moss registers on your mind as a patch of fuzz; and of the pollen, spores, bacteria, viruses, and other microbes that fill the air by the hundreds in every cubic centimeter, you register nothing. The reason for this special focus resides in you. Those are humanized leaves, trees, smells, and light.
