Sights, Scents, Sounds, SENSES!

[Dan Goodwin]

As creative artists, we rely heavily on our senses both to experience the world around us as fully as possible, and to express those sensations back through what we create.

Which of your senses do you rely most on? What do you create most with and through?

What's the connection for you between your senses and you creativity?

When have you noticed your senses are at their most heightened and receptive?

Which of your senses could you use more often and more deeply?

Debb thank you so much for sharing your insight. I am really working on hearing the whispers right now. Most of my life has been spent needing the 2x4 approach and I truly desire to be more aware to those whispers.

You are not alone, Melissa, in learning to hear the whispers! It is something that most of us need to learn how to tune in to...so distracted by the everyday world as we are...but it is possible! Don't give up your desire to hear them!

OH Debb...I totally believe that "angels speak to us at unexpected moments!"

I love those encounters...sometimes they are simply to cheer up! One day, after being sick and holed up for a while, I finally went out to do some food shopping...

A strange and funny looking man stopped me in the parking lot and asked me if I would like to hear two jokes...I agreed...he told me two corny jokes...and he made my day...and I was wondering if he was one of those angels! It was just so "out of the blue" and unexpected"...

You are so right! As always with me, I start from the backdoor to the front. So, I went through the 2x4 first, then the shout, then finally was ready to listen to the whispers.
