Today’s Take Action Prompt: Experience the World Without Sense
By Sandra Lee Schubert | June 11, 2008
Take it away for 15 minutes. In a safe place or with the help of a friend blindfold yourself. Experience the world without this sense. How do your other senses come into play? Do you rely on one more then the other? Walk around and touch things. Sniff the air. Use your ears. How do things sound when you can’t see? If you have an escort, try to walk around outside and feel the air, and the sounds of the world.
What did you learn? Did you hear, taste or smell differently? How do things look now that have your sight back?
Practice seeing…
Find five things a day that are different. As an example, go to work and look at your normal environment. Look at the ordinary things and then find the extra-ordinary things. What does the ceiling look like? What is the color of the walls?
Create a story using your new sight. Add as many visuals from your everyday life as you can. Have the story be as visual as you can make it.
