Our senses are a gift.

 

Through our senses we experience and learn of the world

Oh to hear the melodies of nature its pleasant harmonies, moving symphonies with its  interludes of crass absurdities is miraculous. To hear the poetry of the earth.

 

A gift that many  would pay handsomely for.

 

Oh to feel.

 

The depth of human touch, sensations of fingers running  across a gown of silk or a blanket of velvet, the pureness of beauty flowing through the fingertips, a gift beyond measure.

 

Oh to taste.

 

 

Sweet and bitter herbs .

Flavorful and bland delicacies.

Gustatory delights that  dazzle the eye and satiate the palate, incomparable.

Oh to  smell.

The sweet aromas of honeysuckle  on the breath of a spring morning.

Love in odious repose for

words that soothe the soul and awaken the  spirit to life’s abundant miracles  like the salve of the fresh earth after a spring rain.

There is no greater blessing.

Oh to see.

The beautiful landscapes propped against splendid horizons.

 

Stretches of Green lands and oceans spanning for miles.

All gifts wrapped in the body of one, you.

What makes life lavishly beautiful are those faculties which allow us to experience a world bubbling over with beauty.

 

 

Yet, there are other senses that one possess which are as equally as important as the five aforementioned.

“Our bodies have five senses: touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing. But not to be overlooked are the senses of our souls: intuition, peace, foresight, trust, empathy. The differences between people lie in their use of these senses; most people don’t know anything about the inner senses while a few people rely on them just as they rely on their physical senses, and in fact probably even more.”
― C. JoyBell C.

 

These meta-cognitive senses  arouse higher sensibilities.

“Metacognition is an important-sounding word for a very everyday process.

We ‘metacognise’ whenever we reflect upon our thinking process and knowledge.” This kind of introspection is crucial for making good decisions.” (Bailey Penny)

Such as sight.

Not in speaking of visual,  but of a second sight that permits one to see beyond what the physical spectrum will allow.

The ability to effectively “metacognise”, through foresight, Hindsight, and insight.

 

Foresight, is the ability to see ahead.

 

It is the ability to use experience to interpret or predict  what is to come. Then successfully act upon this insight.

A very important ability for maneuvering in the world.

 

Hindsight

 

Hindsight is the ability to look back and draw reasoned conclusion as to why things occurred.

 

 

It is the ability to think retrospectively and piece together small fragments of the past to put together a bigger picture.

Insight

 

 

Insight is the ability to see deeper into something. It is to develop a deep understanding due to a  deeper knowledge of a subject or a person.

Opinion, point of view, and perspective are not synonymous to insight. “A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and
understanding.”
― Marshall McLuhan

There is much success in using insight to properly to prepare the way for greater achievement.

 

 

Not all have fully developed such sights.

 

It is worth it to develop all sights to achieve a life of beauty inside and out.

How good is your sight
