“You English have a saying. "Come to your senses."' 'Yes.' 'What do you think it means?' 'It means to be reasonable, sensible.' She looked across at him. 'Doesn't it?' 'Maybe.'

Our senses have the power to truly transport us but also to ground us. Make us human.” — Kathleen Tessaro
You English have a saying. "Come to your senses."'
'Yes.'
'What do you think it means?'
'It means to be reasonable, sensible.' She looked across at him. 'Doesn't it?'
'Maybe.' His eyes caught the afternoon light; flickering amber, flecked with green.
'What else could it mean?'
'Perhaps it's an invitation. Maybe we need to literally come to our senses, to return to our sense of taste, touch, sight, smell, hearing and find sustenance in them, inspiration. Life is, after all, a sensual experience. Our senses have the power to truly transport us but also to ground us. Make us human.
