See, Hear, Smell, Taste, Feel

“Every day I see or I hear something that more or less kills me with delight.” –Mary Oliver

A song comes on the radio and you’re suddenly transported back to high school. The smell of Wonder bread conjures a memory of the sandwiches your dad used to make for you. A thunderstorm reminds you of your first camping trip.

These kinds of details are imprinted on us because our senses are how we engage with the world. Today, let’s remind ourselves of the indelible sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and feels that give our lives texture and meaning.
