Hearing, seeing, tasting, smelling, and touching. Our five senses guide and direct us through life. These senses need to wholly be utilized to be completely experiencing the world around us. We need to hear the birds chirping to appreciate the small things and to hear the rolls of thunder to know the rain will come. We need to see those who are in need and to see every sunrise and sunset to know a new of opportunity has come and gone. We need to taste the food that nourishes our body. We need to smell the sweet smells of spring and summer. We need to touch in an embrace to show we are present for someone who needs to be comforted. As humans, we rely on our senses, and without the strong bond of them together, we miss an aspect of the human experience. On the flipside of that statement, sometimes we choose to turn a blind eye and deaf ear to certain circumstances and situations to avoid heartache or involvement. I do not think this is the best way to maneuver through life. I believe everything happens for a reason, so to ignore something, it puts a wall up in the way of learning. If we are fortunate enough to have fully functioning senses, we should show our appreciation by using them entirely to interaction and collaborate with others. So, the next time you want to dodge a situation or skirt around an issue, face it head on and put forth your full potential. You will come out stronger, and you will undoubtedly learn something either about yourself, others, or life in general. Be open-minded and willing to look beyond the surface. Beggars cannot be choosers, so we cannot have selective senses. Stay Curious, Kayla ©Inquisitive Perspectives 2017
