Qualia

(with thanks to Antonio Damasio & Philip Yancey)

Simple sensory qualities!
Mental patterns giving sense
to entities.
Blue of the sky
Mellowness of the cello
Soft, eerie glow of
candles on a cathedral wall
Vibrating bass sounds
Fragrance of incense
Bracing fresh air
A lover’s sensual touch
Fresh, organic pears
Newly expressed feelings
Moving from
urgency to immediacy
a place of calm
the rhythms of eternity
Qualia abound
Qualia give pleasure
Qualia bring peace
