"Nothing can cure the soul but the senses,
just as nothing can cure the senses
but the soul."
-Oscar Wilde
Sights, scents, and sounds. Every day we experience the world through them. Through taste and touch too.
Our senses can inspire us; help us remember; and move us to joy and laughter as
well as to gratitude, grief, and tears.
Our senses can stir our hope. They can stir every emotion and lead to every gift. They are gifts.
Let's use them well and wondrously today.
With love and gratitude,
Charlene
FOR REFLECTION,
JOURNALING, AND DISCUSSION
Think back to childhood.
What simple pleasures stirred wonderment in you? Think about sights, sounds, and smells.
What made you say, "Wow!"
What stirs
wonderment in you now?"
