Our Senses


                                                         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:
