Taste: plum oolong, ginger pumpkin Sound: waterfall, dryer, puppy purring, chimes Smell: hay Sight: sunlight Touch:  puppy ears, puppy kisses, puppy bites Intellect, ideas, and dreams: fossorial; aporia (contradiction); “The travels of this being spread life in their wake.” Grateful for: sunlight, summer, confidence and calm

Taste: quinoa salads; red apples Sound: birdsong, insect chirps, Sinbad’s meow Smell: honey, maple, kitten Sight: green light, trees Touch: course hair, thick skin, pig Intellect, ideas, and dreams: The Good it Promises, The Harm it Does ; Gwendolyn Morgan’s painting poems Grateful for: days in the backyard, green light; Catskill Animal Sanctuary; Bear Mountain State Park
