Jeff CWe pull ourselves up by progressively wider umwelt bootstraps. Or in simple hippy talk: we grow first by expanding our awareness. Of course it's more our modes of awareness that increase, rather than our sensitivity.I'm thinking "Modes of Awareness"" would be an excellent essay: I must have fodder in the slushpile for this.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/amWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amWriting</a>

I don’t spend a lot of time on it, but it’s fun.I also don’t keep track of them.Technically unrelated…What’s even more fun is writing a series & the characters make a joke about something earlier in the series. If someone has read all the books then they’ll get it.
