I was managing my store. He came. I thought he had to buy something. Asked him what he needed. He didn't say anything. I asked him again what he wanted. He was silent. I asked him again, but he didn't speak. It was going to be...

Which Sense Would You Most Miss?

celticeagle @celticeagle (189915) • Boise, Idaho 27 Sep

I was watching something yesterday about how our bodies change and age a few days ago. It made me think of our senses (taste, sight, smell, touch, and hearing). It's like our feet... We use them so much and take them for granted....

celticeagle @celticeagle (189915) • Boise, Idaho 22 Aug

Let’s talk Fear

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (358) 1 Mar 24

In the midst of chaos, the silver lining portends hope. How many of us can or are willing to see it? The body consciousness, the belief systems wreak havoc on our minds and we plunge into delirium. Illusion becomes real. Where...

If you think you’re like everyone else, you’re probably wrong

Fleur @Fleura (35063) • United Kingdom 24 Feb 24

I don’t mean like everyone else in terms of dressing the same way, liking the same foods or enjoying the same books, for example, but in terms of the way you perceive the world. Maybe you’ve laughed with someone about the trouble...

My Senses of Smell and Taste are Back

Jo Ann @akalinus (44366) • United States 9 Mar 21

In November, I am pretty sure I had Covid but was not tested. I was miserable for about three weeks with a fever for two weeks. I lost my sense of smell and taste. Everything tasted like garbage, even water. The other day, I was...

The Miracle Fruit

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 23 Feb 21

My elderly friend gave me a bowl of Miracle Fruit. Miracle in the sense that the fruit changes the bitter and sour tastes into sweet. I did ask friends if they know the real name of the fruit. One said it is called Goji Berry and...

Of the five senses, which do you favor most?

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 3 Dec 20

It must be difficult to be blind, or deaf, or without smell. Worse if one has no feeling nor taste. How could you enjoy the food? Or feel a tickle? Or a gentle embrace? But our Lord Jesus had been curing blind people. In today's...

One of my favourite things about chickens…

Fleur @Fleura (35063) • United Kingdom 11 Jul 19

is that unlike dogs or cats or many mammals, they will actually look where you point! This seems like such a simple thing, but if you’ve ever tried pointing out a missed cat treat to your pet you will know how frustrating it can...

Nourish the Body, Mind and Soul – Everything in Balance

Shiva @Shiva49 (28389) • Singapore 8 Feb 19

I find peace of mind when I have all the three in my thoughts; the body, the mind, and the soul. For the very few, the soul connects to a higher power and then they are elevated and become out of the ordinary. When the connection...

The Soul Connection

Shiva @Shiva49 (28389) • Singapore 10 Nov 18

On deep reflection, I tend to believe our fellow travelers also have a soul as they are alive and subject to change like us. Okay, I might be exaggerating but I believe a spiritual approach to life makes us connect with all those...

They keep raising the rent at my apartment complex. Both me and my pretend son's mom are getting ticked off. Today, I actually checked out a condominium that I could easily afford. It had vaulted ceilings, like my current place,...

Synesthesia: a combination of senses

Faye @FayeHazel (40230) • United States 7 Mar 18

There is a condition called synesthesia - which is truly fascinating. It is caused by the combination (or perhaps failure to split) of 2 or more senses. So there are people who can see colors with music, see colors in letters,...

Imagine the darkness

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169490) • United States 4 Oct 17

My image is of a fireworks display two years ago. Imagine the darkness if there were no fireworks, no moon rising, no sun setting, no streetlights. We sat on the porch swing last night, in the dark, cool, fall, night air. With...

TWO PLEASURES

Kandase @Kandae11 (57231) 15 Apr 17

What in your opinion are the two greatest pleasures people indulge in? I know how much people enjoy their food - so that can be one of them - what would you say is the other ?. Of course, our likes vary and people may find...

What The Brain Thinks…

Gitara @Gita17112016 (3611) • Trinidad And Tobago 5 Feb 17

Amazing! This picture is what we call a “sensory homunculus” …an image of how our brain SEES us when we use our senses. The human areas most sensitive are the mouth and tongue, the hands and the feet. Hence, in the picture...
