00:30That's pretty, that's pretty good.

00:39Alice, don't you want to go to the hospital?

00:42It's all out on, kids on!

01:00It's time to liven the senses.

01:09A story that makes sense is one that stirs the senses from their slumber,

01:15one that opens the eyes and the ears to their real surroundings.

01:20Tuning the tongue to the actual tastes in the air

01:23and sending chills of recognition along the surface of the skin.

01:28To make sense is to release the body from the constraints

01:33and the hopes to write out ways of speaking.

01:36It tends to renew and great thinking out

01:39with one's felt awareness of the world.

01:42It is to know the first way of the world to where they are.

01:47It's our characters with a huge story

01:51that is physically on the heart of all lives.

01:54Participants within the vast imagination.

01:57they're dreaming of the block.

02:00What are you doing?

02:01It's not the other person.

02:02What is it?

02:03What are you doing?

02:04What are you doing?

02:05Please be aware.

02:06We're going to let you go to the house of the house,

02:07we're going to...

02:08...otzdem...

02:09...between the exciting living living living.

02:11We're going to get ourselves to the world

02:13to another,

02:14...and we're going to get ourselves to the highest...

02:18This is the structure of deception.

02:27We have a sense in this world by rendering those sounds of our identity.

02:34This is the sense of your deception is this one you can contain.

02:38The terrain enters into a stone to the extent we allow ourselves to be taken up within that terrain.

02:47To our indigenous ancestors and to the many aboriginal peoples who still hold fast to their war traditions.

02:59The language is their sleep and possession.

03:03And it is a property of the animate there within itself.

03:07An expressive, telepractic power.

03:10In which we, among the coyotes and the crickets, will participate.

03:16Each creature enables this expressive magic in its own man.

03:21The honeybee with its wobble dance no less than a bellicose harrowing friend singing in.

03:27Nor is this power restricted solely to them.

03:31Whispered hush, the uncut brass is at dawn.

03:35A length of bells of trunks roaming in one another in the deep woods.

03:42Or the laughter of virtuos as the wind of gusts through their garages.

03:47There, I think, of many vending enemies, without a missing camera.

03:53In the Pacific Northwest, I met a man and scorned himself in the speech of Needle of Evergreen.

04:02On a breezy day, you could drive him blindfolded.

04:06Any patch of dust or forest, a place here is still blind beneath the particular tree.

04:13After a few moments, he may tell you, by listening, just like the species of pine or spruce,

04:20beef burr stood above him.

04:22Whether he stood beneath a camelous fur, or a grand fur, a sytchus bruce, or a western red cedar.

04:30His ears rotundly sent to the different dialects of the trees.

04:40We see a lot of gravitating towers, a lot of earth from a larger body,

04:47calibrated large units, and possibly the familiar canvas of our waking powers.

04:54The tensions and downs of our individual trainers,

04:58the wind, storming back,

05:00extremes into the seeping substance of our muscles.

05:04We give ourselves over to the influence of the breathing earth.

05:09The sleep is the shadow of the earth as it seeps into our skin and spreads throughout our limbs,

05:16dissolving our individual limb,

05:19composing cells, tissues, organs,

05:23and feeds into the lays to the limelight
