Augustinian Phenomenology

Yet, though they [trees] and all corporeal things have causes which lie hidden in their nature, they do display their forms ... for perception by our senses; and so it seems that, even though they themselves cannot know, they nonetheless wish to be known. City of God, xi.27.

    Was thinking of you this morning - I'm listening to an audio version of the City of God - yup it's like 58 hours of reading. Great while I do art. Good post!

    29 God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore..... 33 He spoke about plant life, from the cedar of Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of walls. He also spoke about animals and birds, reptiles and fish.
