Sensory essence

An intimate experience

Nothing we use or hear or touch can be expressed in words that equal what is given by the senses.

Hannah Arendt, 1906–1975

*

I am thankful for the unknown as I explore new surroundings.

Finally, alone, I celebrate the comfort of the serenity of solitude.

Cool, thick, heavy raindrops distract me from my mindful footfalls.

I capture moments of the glistening silver and relish beatitude.

And now is the time, with sweet relief, to savour sublime earthbound renewal.
