"From a phenomenological point of view, finally, the Medicine Wheel atop Medicine Mountain offers an environment filled with interconnecting surfaces, constantly inviting mutual response." (Chapter 2, pg. 45, Para. 3)
The phenomenological point of view takes everything about the environment into consideration. The color of the sky, the brightness of the sun, the temperature of the day, the plant and animal life, the terrain. Everything comes together and works in harmony to produce the experience felt by the individual watching.
There's this lake back home that I love to go to. But, I don't enjoy going there during the day. I only like going there at tonight. There's just something about that place when the moon is out and light is reflecting off the water and the crickets are chirping. It's exciting; it's alive. And it just doesn't feel that way during the day. The atmosphere in the environment is what makes that place so special to me.
