i like this :D

though not sure if activism is the appropriate word, but anything that encourages the indulgence of every sense works!

    oh good you posted it...i was about to! :thumbup:

    i like this part...

    I believe that the best way to use the senses is to not analyze what is being perceived while we are doing the perceiving. What we take in becomes part of our bank of information, knowledge and experience. When presented, say, with a piece of chocolate, a glass of wine, a new landscape, or music we have not yet heard, we can open our senses more fully and actively to discover the pleasures and complexities that await us. This means putting other thoughts out of our head and focusing our senses on what we are perceiving.

    yes i liked that part too! i feel this way about seeing live PJ...not thinking, just feeling. it's like everything is engaged, all the receptors are open :)
