Going Green
Posted in life on April 21st, 2009 by emmajamesWhen I was a child, I wore thick glasses. I couldn’t see the big “E” on the eye chart, much less the alarm clock or people’s faces from more than a few feet away. Perhaps that is why I take such pleasure in the visual world. To clarify, I appreciate all five of my sense – and even my sixth when it’s working – but sight is the sense I value most, and the beauty I see around me is simply astounding. Specifically, the beauty of the natural world. Perhaps it is cliche, but nature’s got a damn good sense of color and design. We humans are constantly trying to capture that sense and bottle it. I am awed by the tenacity of our pursuit. And, on occasion, even grateful for it.
Going Green
After all, my world would be a lot less colorful if someone hadn’t decided to reproduce Forest Green.
Did I mention that I am humbled by the divine power of pedicures, too? And I don’t even have a foot fetish.
What is your favorite sense? And why?
