 Consider the human body: It has eyes to see, ears to hear, a mouth to speak, feet to walk, and hands to do a thousand things. Are they not truly wonderful? Birds and insects fly in the sky, plants and trees bloom and bear fruit—they are all wonderful…. Thus the universe and all things therein are without a single exception strange and wondrous when examined carefully…. [And] one must acknowledge that human intelligence is puny while the acts of the kami are illimitable and wondrous. (Kuzubana {1968–1975: 8: 160]
