Grasps us by the ears
Sight sees at a distance from our eyes, and in its essence is of two dimensions. Its eyes reach out to grasp what it sees. Perhaps touch then is the primary sense, the three dimensional thing sight wants to grow up to be. But now I think both are a step away. Away? Away from sound, which reaches out to grasp us—by the ears, by the throat, and finally by the gizzards. For mammals it must have been the first sensation—the heartbeat! That over-washing heartbeat! And so conversation calls us from home.
