Dear Senses,
I appreciate you, Sight. You allow me to see the beauty in everything around me — the rainbow colored sky at sunrise and sunset, the plumage of birds, the patterned fur of animals, the color of people’s eyes, and so much more. I appreciate you, Sound. You allow me to hear beautiful music, the sound of my children’s laughter, the sounds that alert me to danger, and everything in between. I appreciate you, Smell. Without you, I couldn’t breathe in the aroma of freshly baked goods, food cooking on the stove, flowers, and all sorts of wonderful scents. I appreciate you, Taste. You are quite possibly my favorite sense. I enjoy so many sweet foods because of you. I also love salty and sour foods. I enjoy fruits and veggies, meats and cheeses, grains and fats. And I also appreciate you, Touch. The warmth of the sun feels glorious on my skin. The soft fleece pants I wear in winter keep my body warm and comfortable. The feeling of water on my skin soothes my aches and pains. And yes, even pain is helpful — it alerts me to anything wrong with my body.
This is beautiful. I especially like the last line. Thank you.
