This is a great picture. I did not want to use it without your permission. I would of course give credit where credit was due.

I will note that touch can also learn a lot about interiors non-destructively -- ever hefted a milk-carton (or other box) to test its fullness, or given someone a massage? Certainly when I "scritch" my cat, I can feel through her fur to skin, fat, muscle, and even bone. (And Gremlin's a pretty fat cat!) And too, the surface is *also* part of the object, especially for living things. Skin, fur, feathers, are all important organs., but plants especially put a lot of work into surfaces -- cacti minimizing their area to retain water, other plants spreading out leaves for light, some hanging out flowers for bees and other pollinators, trees fending off burrowers with bark, and so on.

Hope you find some toher things you like. Brett - I didn't know plumbers used sonar. Must be why they make the big bucks. Ong spends a lot of time on texts that arise from oral or mostly oral cultures, which of course includes the Bible. But with your interest in comparative religion generally, I'm sure you'd find <em>Orality and Literacy</em> a worthwhile read. q.r.r. - Glad you liked. Cathy – Thanks, and welcome to Via Negativa.
