Having A ‘Sense-Luscious' Love Affair With Life!

Recently, I saw a poster with the words, “When was the last time you did something for the very first time?” These words, with their profound message, jolted me into some serious thinking.

They made me realize that most of the time, I had been cramming my days, months and years with things that were mostly repetitive, without pausing to bring in something new. Not only that, I was so caught up in the mundane routine that I had become oblivious to the fresh things that crept into my day as the seasons changed.

I had dulled my senses so much that they became oblivious to the sense-luscious beauty that existed all around me. Thus, I failed to nourish all my five senses to:

• Notice the laburnum tree across the road bursting into those iridescent yellow flowers till someone pointed it out to me;

• Pause to take a deep breath of the refreshing smell of the wet earth when the first rain hit the soil during a scorching summer day;

• Enjoy the song of a wandering cuckoo perched hidden in the neighborhood tree;

• Walk barefoot over the lush green lawn in the nearby park I strolled into some evenings;

• Relish the taste of the breakfast I gulped down many a day before rushing out.
