This image has a sense of musicality.  All abstract concepts do.  Rhythm and harmony made material.  It works because it’s our primary way - the first way - of integrating with the world, even if the ear is often usurped by the eye.  Indeed, it is generally understood that there is no seeing at all for the first few weeks, even though there is some response to light.  It, then, stands to reason that the function of hearing is prior to seeing in each and every individual, just as it is prior in evolutionary structures. - Moshe Feldenkrais [Image: Marc Chagall, King David]
