Every day around the world, people live without one of the five senses that others often take for granted. These five senses would include: the sense of touch, hearing, taste, eyesight, and smell.

Smell the roses. Taste the lemons. Hear the bells ring. The best ways for me to engage with a text is to employ every sensibility through the use of visualization. When I’m reading a novel or poem, I employ visualization techniques as they become applicable. If the text mentions roses in the garden”, I literally “see” the garden and “smell” the roses; the sound of a train, I imagine the “sound” of the train’s whistle. If the text doesn’t mention the color of the train, I imagine that it’s red…

Consequently, these memorable experiences, hopefully will create…

I see a young man with curly long hair wearing nothing but a hat, a long cloth wrapped around his left arm, and sandals. I also notice something on his chest that looks like a bandage and he is holding an apple with his left hand.

In addition, I notice that he is touching his chin with his right finger while looking…
