We will live this life only once.
Experiencing the world @ us, in ways beyond what we can imagine on our own, is truly an exciting experience of the senses. It can be…
seeing with our eyes, a huge vista in nature, beautiful beyond words…
hearing with our ears, music that tickles our ears and vibrates our bodies… holding a in our arms, a sweet baby who is warm, new, and beautiful…
smelling with our nose, honeysuckle’s scent swirling past us on a path…
tasting with our tongues, golden cookies freshly baked, steaming from the oven….
Or, it can be… a work of art, large in size, vibrant in colors, and amazing to our eyes.
These things all peak our curiosity, take us outside of ourselves, and remind us what it is to be alive…
As a parent caring for your family, an individual working each day, or an artist creating an original design. It is through our senses that we take in information from @ us and the environment in which we live. This information can serve, among other things, to remind us of the importance of the everyday, encourage us to value those @ us, and to inspire and motivate us to accomplish more than we can perhaps imagine!
♦ These are some of the things that help remind me to enjoy my family or motivates me to engage in one of the arts? How about you? ♦ (If Comment box is not on page, click below on small gray words, “Leave a Comment”)

I can almost hear the water flowing and smell the cookies. Thanks for helping me be more aware of my senses. Wish I was holding a new baby now. I’ll have to let one of our cats be a substitution.

I was browsing you blog tonight and came across this posting. There’s a tranquility in reading about our senses. Yoga has always helped me get in touch with mine. This was most enjoyable.
Namaste,

Thank-you Isadora…I’d always been told yoga was such a good thing. When I was doing some schooling I took a class for a year and found it was true. It was a great thing to learn. So glad you liked this post. joni
