I heavily enjoyed the activities that we did today. It was extremely relaxing to take time to activate my creative brain and write a poem. Giving the students time to think about all of our 5 senses was very unique, because I do not provide myself time to reflect on all of my senses. It makes me think of all the small details that we do not pay attention to and take for granted. Life is truly beautiful and I often walk around without realizing all the great things around us. One sense that I do not actively think about is my sense of smell. Thus, it was extremely eye-opening to pay attention to my sense of smell. Doing a yoga exercise of breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth, minding the scents that enter my nostrils, was very relaxing. I found myself smelling the outdoor smell that I usually do not recognize immediately when I go outside.
My poem was:
The soft woodchips scattered under my feet
Growth of plants and veggies I can see
Tennis balls bouncing and car engines sputtering
Aroma of freshly grown plants fluttering
I can taste sweet nectar from watermelon stuttering
