Opening your Senses

So one day during the summer I went outside and just wrote down everything I felt and sensed, it was awesome I read this all the time and just relive that moment.  I thought I would share my musings, and encourage you in your own. This is a great way to bring peace to yourself and make you feel more in touch with the world around you.  Sometimes we get lost in all the crazy frantic business and forget to really stop and see what beauty surrounds us.

Warm sun bakes my hands and face

The fragrance of country foliage and soil reaches my nose 

Small insects and prickly grass brush my skin

The sound of a chirping cricket touches my consciousness

The twittering of birds fills the air with wonder

The coolness of earth and the heat of air mix and intertwine

I watch the beauty of fluttering leaves in the wind

My eyes communicate the roughness of stone to my fingertips

Cars hum down a mountain road

The feathery tips of the grass sway gently in the cool breeze

The clouds meander past at their own pace

I can almost taste the scent of amber cream on my hands and arms

Old wood tells a tale of times past and days gone by

TASTE THE BEAUTY OF THE DAY
