Our Senses
It might only be February but I am already feeling the
coming of Spring. My five senses are being awakened by nature. I see the
pigeons gathering in flocks on wires, trees and roofs. I hear the squirrels
stamping across the roof when I awaken early in the morning. I smell skunks as
I drive through my neighborhood and pass a couple charging across the street. I
am delighted by the gentle feel of the buds on the plants starting to open
their flowers. And I can almost taste the mint that grows automatically in my
tiny vegetable garden.
But I discovered that we might have more senses than we
know. We are attuned to our world in many ways. We interact even when we aren’t
aware that we’re doing it. Perhaps if we understand that we are connected with
everything, we will be more careful with how we live.
There seems to be other senses as well:
