of something that we all once had in childhood. of something that we all once had in childhood.

When we were very young we were all artists. We all came into this world with the doors of perception wide open. Everything was a delightful surprise. Everything, at first, required the slow, loving touch of our tongues and our hands. Long before we could speak, we knew the comfort of our mother’s warm body, the delightful feel of a furry toy. Smooth and rough surfaces, things cold and hot surprised and charmed us. Touch by touch we build up our store of tactile impressions, keenly sensed in minute detail.

This kind of seeing was a slow, uncritical examination in depth. The

33 None of us has lost our store of tactile memories. Nor have we None of us has lost our store of tactile memories. Nor have we lost our sense of wonder. lost our sense of wonder. All that’s happened is that we have substituted identifying and labeling, which can be done very rapidly, for the tactile sort of feel-seeing that requires much more time and concentration. For example, if you were asked to look at the edge of your desk and estimate its length, it would only take you a few seconds to flick your eyes back and forth and say that it’s so many inches long. But suppose you were asked to run the tip of your finger along the edge of the desk and count every tiny scratch? You would press your finger along the edge and move it very, very slowly, and your eye would move no faster than your finger. This slow, concentrated way of feeling and seeing is the first step towards regaining our sense of wonder.

Trees are not silhouetted against blank air, but hold blue patterns between their leaves while the branches frame living shapes of sky.

Once more we feel in touch with our world; our aesthetic sense is being

fed and we are comforted.
