"The Spell of the Sensuous" Two!

There was a lot of this chapter that jumped out to me, surprise, the chapter about science and experience jumps out to me. However, the one part in particular that just wouldn't leave my mind was the part about "life-world" The specific line that inspired me was:

"The life-world is the world that we count on without necessarily paying much attention, the world of the clouds overhead and the ground underfoot, of getting out of bed and preparing food and turning on the water for tap."

Immediately from this line a million ideas sparked, however, I decided to go with doodling. I thought doodling a reaction was appropriate because doodling is simple, it's not over thought, it's usually what comes before all of the thoughts and reflections and theories, much like the "life-world". I simply wrote out the quote and doodled without thinking.

"The life-world is thus peripherally present in any thought or activity we undertake. Yet whenever we attempt to explain this world conceptually, we seem to forget our active participation within it."

Therefore, I'll just let my active participation through the doodle do the "explaining".
