The Alternating Senses

As we grow older, we learn. It's inevitable that our experiences will undoubtedly teach us more about ourselves and our environments. It's crucial for us to grow, but we shouldn't forget where we come from. It's an important exercise to remember what being a child was like. If you can't remember that, then spend some time with kids. As humans, we have a craving to discover the unknown, it's always been that way. Unfortunately, because of that reason, we are losing more of life's mystery. Life NEEDS mystery in order to fascinate, inspire and create. As we grow older we tend to define and judge everything around us and I am beginning to realize the cause and effect this has. It's come to the point where we are uncomfortable if we're staring into the unknown. Kids don't have that type of experience yet and to be honest, we don't either. We just think and assume that what we know is right. I implore you to assume you know nothing about your environment or the world. If you were to walk through a fresh garden during spring time after every flower had began to bloom, what would you see? Flowers, right? What you're missing is life's beauty and perfection. We can name each flower, we know why it's in bloom, and how to do it ourselves. In fact, it's not even that difficult. That's the problem. We aren't really seeing whats in front of us. We are letting our minds analyze and interpret our surroundings for us. The mind is an incredibly useful tool but it is horrible at Seeing, Feeling, Hearing, Smelling and Sensing. It is not the brains responsibility for those sensations. Get in tune with your other senses and realize that they are just as important. The Earth will open itself up to those who appreciate her.
