The course book tells me to sit quietly and listen and write about three things that you can feel, taste, hear, see, smell.. Well I figured I would just blog one example 'live' and see how it turns out!
I smell the delicate aroma of lemons coming from the mug to my left hand side. I know what is in the mug: Green tea with lemon, and it has me wondering whether I can smell the lemons, or just imagine that I can smell the lemons, which makes my brain notice a lemon scent? Now that is a brain teaser. In either case the smell is boldly delicate, enticing me to take a sip.
Hmm, not exactly world class descriptive text there.. Although I do like the idea that has arisen from it regarding whether the smell is physical or a mental supposition arrived at by the pre existing knowledge of what is there already. To be fair I think that I picked the hardest sense to write about. Will have to pick a different one next time!
