My ears hear music and I’m instantly inspired. Music is my life. A song can take me back in time or move me to the beat. It can rattle my emotions and awaken my soul. Music is my drug of choice. Have you ever watched a movie without sound? It’s on mute or there’s no music? There’s no excitement, there’s no emotional connect, frankly, it’s boring. Music leads you to the climax, the fall, the sadness, the happiness, the lust, and the love. Music moves you inside and out.
I hear the sound of a loved ones voice and I feel safe and comforted. I hear voices, laughter, crying, screaming, sounds of nature, and I know where I am. I can communicate and find my way. Hearing allows us to naviagte through life.
My eyes love sculpture. I’m in amazement with each line and curve that every particle of the stone forms. Sculpture can be small or large in actual size, but it’s grand in its meaning. Painting and photographs are powerful proof of our existence. Our own image is the most beautiful art we each come to know. Our faces have so much to tell and so little to do with our physical features. Our faces tell our life stories. You don’t where your heart on your sleeve, you where it on your face. Our eyes are the windows to our soul. They never lie and they always show your character. Our eyes let us see the world and all its wonder.
My fingers love to touch things. I love the feel of skin on skin, lips on lips and bodies embracing. I love to hug and be held. One of the best feelings is fingers running through your hair, massaging your head while gently soothing you to sleep. When you are sick its touch that helps heal, your mom’s lips on your forehead, your lover’s hands holding yours tightly, someone you love rubbing away your aches and pains. Shut your eyes and just feel things around you. Touch someone’s face and run your fingers slowly over it. Feel someone’s breath in your face or on your neck. Feel their heartbeat and put a finger on your own pulse. Touch lets you know you are alive and surrounded by life. Touch lets you know you are not alone. Touch is love.
Eating is not just for fueling the body. Eating is life. We need it for energy and survival. Life is centered on food. There may be no greater art form. Everyday you eat and everyday you taste the riches of each flavor in your mouth. You don’t just eat with your mouth you eat with all of your senses. Taste is personal. Food is family. It takes you back to a moment or a memory. It’s a holiday dinner with family, a night out with friends, a breakfast of champions, a lunch with clients, a mouth watering hunger that’s been satisfied, and a heavenly sweet tooth sensation covered in chocolate. Food makes an appearance everyday, several times throughout helping you taste your way through life. You will taste the good and sometime taste the bad but there is no greater love than the love of food.
Smell is known to promote memory. It’s powerful. Shut your eyes, hold your ears, tie your hands, close your mouth, and smell. I guarantee you can recognize someone by their scent. You will know it immediately. Scent resonates with us. I remember when I was just a child and my father found a pair of winter gloves in his car. He said out loud, “I wonder who left these in here?” I had them up by my nose and knew right away they were my grandmother’s because they had her scent all over them. My father thought that was the greatest thing. Everyone has a scent, their own personal musk.
When you are in a relationship with someone you are most likely attracted to their scent. When you smell the aroma of food you want to eat it. You know if something is clean by the smell of it. You know if you are in danger or harm by the trace of scent. A certain cologne or perfume takes you back to a person, maybe an old love or a friend. It brings you back in time. Scent is sensational.
All of our senses are powerful beyond belief. When God takes one away he makes the others much stronger. We rely on our senses yet we take advantage of them too. We forget that in an instant they can be taken away. I love anything that ignites my inner fire. I love to be on sensory overload. I’m a sensual person. We are all sensual beings, some more than others. I love any sensation because it lets me know I’m alive. Everything in life revolves around our senses. Sense makes life then life makes sense.
