The words consciousness and awareness are similar to the word energy, and unlike the word green. Green is the event made inevitable when electromagnetic energy of certain wavelengths hit the optic nerve. Consciousness, awareness, and energy are described in terms of their affects. And cannot be descirbed in terms of the nuts and bolts that are the substrate of manifestation for those nuts and bolt are a complete and utter mystery.
Every life form without exception is a form of feeding. And what in every case is fed is awareness. The universe has mouths in variety that defy imagination, and in every case they feed the same cosmic principle.
Daddy Longlegs
Little blind men tap their way across the forest floor
Bending to drink the dew that beads upon brown leaves
In moments of power seize an injured moth
In moments of terror flee the wood ants jaws
They scuffle with each other
Or they congregate in piles
They tap their way across my table or my shoe
I think what differs most between us
Is that men
Like gods
Are subject to compassion
While spiders
Though endowed with similar appetites
See no further than the reach of their legs
