Smelling

TO BE ABLE TO SMELL THE SWEET SCENT OF BLOOMS THE CRISPNESS OF FRESHLY CUT GRASS THE WOODINESS OF A LUMBERED TREE IMAGES IN YOUR MIND ARE CAST THE SENSE OF SMELL IS SO DEFINING IT ENABLES THE IMAGINATION TO BE FREE SWEET, SPICY, WOODY OR MUSK A CONNECTION TO IT THERE WILL BE SMELLING SOMETHING AS IT COOKS STRAIGHT AWAY IT’S OF FOOD YOU THINK BUT THE SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING SUGGESTS FIRE AS THE LINK IT’S A BLESSING TO HAVE THE SENSE OF SMELL IT EXPLAINS WHY WE WERE BORN WITH NOSES LIFE JUST WOULDN’T BE THE SAME IF WE COULDN’T WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES
