The senses help us to experience the world. Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching allow us to learn about one another. They also make us different from one another. You may love the taste of carrots, while your friend may yuck them. You may love the color purple, and your friend may love the color green.
Our senses can also change and adapt. Have you ever not liked a particular food and then one day you suddenly liked it? Or maybe you didn't care for a song and then found yourself singing it.
Touch connects us to the world around us. All of our senses are more alive when we spend time in nature. They have the chance to do the work they are meant to do. It's important to balance time between computers and spending time in nature. Our senses gain strength in the natural world.
Intuition is another one of our senses that we don't always think about. Each of us has this sixth sense. Sensing with our mind and feeling with our body helps us to make choices. When something feels wrong, it's important to listen to that feeling. Have you ever had a time where you listened to a feeling?
