Becoming Sensuist

Use your eyes, as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind ….

Hear the music of voices, the song of the bird,

the mighty strains of an orchestra,

as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow.

Touch each object as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail.

Smell the perfume of the flowers, taste with relish each morsel,

as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again.

Make the most of every sense;

glory in all the facets of pleasures and beauty which the world reveals to you.

~ Helen Keller
