I think we need all of our senses to grasp the enormous complexity of life as humans. Through our bodies our brains can make order out of chaos. Through our bodies we can see the world in full spectrum. I feel that this ability is fading away in most of us today.
What are we disconnecting from, and why?
And what do we need, to re connect?
