Of all the senses,
sight must be 
the most delightful.

May your inner eye
See through the surfaces
and glean the real presence
Of everything that meets you.

May your soul beautify
The desire of your eyes
That you might glimpse
The infinity that hides
In the simple sights
That seem worn
To your usual eyes.

~Excerpts from a blessings for
the senses by John O’Donohue

The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. ~Matthew 6:22   ✝

  2. Oh yes, the only way to fully experience our surroundings is with all our senses. I always touch the plants in my gardens, smell the air for all the scents and watch the animals in and around my area.
