"The Phenomenon of our body’s physical experience in the world; a simple touch, a fragrant smell, the sun in our eyes, the sound of bus vibrating past. All of these things bring a phenomenal interaction with the current world. We live with so many tools to help us navigate our complex environment that I sometimes feel lost from my own physical presence in the world and with my identity. My questions arise from my attempt to find how my physical presence and identity intermingle to help me create my beliefs."--Juniper Shuey
