I. O The Smell

from Bigfoot Revelation by The Wood Prophets

/

about

Pungent vitality, thick furry fear. Or is it awe and wonder? All of the above.

Smell has a direct connection to certain deep parts of our brain. Smell is less filtered as it travels to these areas as compared with the other senses. It is the most intimate, visceral and for some of us, impactful of the sense perceptions. It can be its own altered state of perception.

Those who recall Bigfoot encounters that seem to me to be genuine always get a little weird when they describe the smell, the overpowering smell that thickened their skunk ape or wood ape experience. This is profound to me because, anything that happens to us becomes much heavier and more real when there is strong scent involved, especially in this case when it is likely to be so musky, so pungent, so inexplicably complex and animalistic as to contain millennia of fur-trapped, reddish-brown secrets within every noseful, causing anyone involved to exclaim, almost involuntarily "O, The Smell!" It is neither good, bad, right or wrong but it certainly IS, at that moment, for that person; and the juxtaposition of otherwordly and profoundly Earthly lies at the heart of this difficult-to-process encounter.
