There are special moments that a writer must court and be ready for; moments perceived as everyday.

That perception falls away and presents things…

When something sacred reveals itself within the mundane, do you tell the world you participated in such a moment?

How do you tell the world about the moment you were particularly aware of your senses?

The sight of…
The touch of…
The taste of…
The sound of…
The scent of…

Descriptions of these need not resort to the obvious, or the superlatives such as “it was beautiful.”

They simply are.

The extra words serve only to clutter.
