“Pleasure is our deep human response to an encounter with beauty and goodness. In these moments of pleasure—of delight, enjoyment, awe, and revelry—we respond to God impulsively with our very bodies: "Yes, we agree! Your creation is very good.” BeautySensesChristian LifeFive Senses Book:Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life Source: Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life
“It is no accident that the psalmist enjoins us to taste and see that the Lord is good—not simply to reason or confess that God is good, but to taste it. My body, this tea, and the quiet twilight are teaching me God's goodness through my senses. I'm tasting, hearing, feeling, seeing, and smelling that God is good.” BeautySensesChristian LifeFive SensesSavoring Book:Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life Source: Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life
