I would miss reading and seeing natural beauty should I lose sight. I would miss music and hearing my dear friends should my hearing go. I’d miss tasting sweet foods most if my sense of taste were to leave. I’d miss the smell of apples and forests if my sense of scent faded. I’d miss embraces most if my sense of feeling were to go. I think I would miss everything if I could feel nothing. All we sense is important, whether hurt or pleasure.

I’d eliminate selfishness (though not selfcaring, which is quite separate). That’s the key to everything falling into place, is it not?

Oh, this last one will be a challenge… I’ll try to pick ones more in tune with my life of the recent past and going forward, though songs like Collective Soul’s Blame have been important background music for me for many years.
