as i was walking downtown, a familiar scent happened upon my nose...
which got me to ponderin' of the olfactory world.
i believe that there is much potential to refine this sense because to do so
may revive skills lost in the western indoctrination.
as an artist and american, i find that my attention is frequently divided...
a high awareness kinetically and visually, with much neglect to its counterparts,
and i believe it's time to undo this.
i believe my mind is prejudice and ignorant to various scents, and i have a
sneaky suspicion that one can arrive to much information and divinity
if the heart lends itself to the nose.
as such, one may deconstruct others with a higher awareness,
such that of another's temperament, health, and the vibrational frequency of scent
may allude to codes that may be broken with proper training and study.
might other creatures be the wiser?
may our noses lay swath to our deepest desires?
and what of those who smell like "home" to us?
i'm highly tempted to begin this study and conduct experiments,
but perhaps it would be foolish to immerse myself again
and neglect other senses.
