The universe in a grain of sand…

“.. the notion of ‘importance’… is equated with notitia, or taking notice of things. It is like the Japanese exclamation of ‘ah-a-ah!’ when suddenly touched by beauty. The word aisthesis… refers to the gasp, the ‘ah-ha’, the ‘uh’ of the breath of wonder. It is recognition of the ‘eachness’ of things…”

(David Ray Griffin, Archetypal Process: self and divine in Whitehead, Jung and Hillman)
