46/365 senses

What's new that can be said about senses. Sight, hearing, smell, the sense of touch and taste.  Each as significant as the other.  Their qualities need not be listed.  But maybe a bit of what some mean to me.
I could not imagine the loss of being able to see and listen to my great-nephew, Logan.  To be able to smell his head when he was a baby.  To feel the touch of him holding my hand.  To share ice-cream , and know how good it is.
All these things with all the people I know and love.
Besides all these necessary senses, there is the sixth sense.   The one that warns you to put up your guard in certain situations.  Intuition is part of this, and a woman's intuition is a powerful thing.  Sometimes it's like being about to read minds.  I don't know how this operates in men.




*A free-write is a type of automatic writing, where you just go with your stream of consciousness non-stop. There's no thought to spelling or grammar, and no editing of words. Supposedly this opens the mind up to greater creativity. They can be 5, 10 or 20 minutes long. Suggestions for freewrites are always welcome. Visit Evie, with whom I freewrite, at the space between colors.
