Phenology is the study of the mature naturalist - the gate through which nature becomes personal.
To be absorbed in this life is to merge with larger patterns. Here ecology is not studied, but felt so that truths become known in the same way a child learns hot from cold - truths that are immune from doubt and argument and, most important, can never be taken away.
