Creating Day 15 – A Sensory Tour

Today’s yummy prompt from #Reverb13:

Give us a sensory tour of 2013. How would you describe the year that’s passing in terms of:

Sight?
Sound?
Smell?
Taste?
Touch?

Sunrise at Tybee Island July 2013

2013

To sum it up in words it seems inadequate

like the sun slipping below the horizon

after a stunning display.

This year I saw sunrises that reminded me

about the magic of each day.

I heard the laughter of my children,

family and friends and I heard their cries.

I smelled Mother Earth as I paddled down the Chattahoochee river or hiked looking for waterfalls

in the Appalachian mountains.

I tasted the gift of kindness breaking bread with friends.

I touched the face of God each time I interacted with you and saw your divine spark.

Thanks Ladies – I was thinking of doing pictures and more words like you did Darlene – but I've been grieving the loss of a family friend this morning and my attention was not up to looking through pictures and putting together a longer post.
