Following the Senses

“The beginning of human knowledge is through the senses, and the fiction writer begins where human perception begins.  He appeals through the senses, and you cannot appeal through the senses with abstraction.”

—Flannery O’Connor, Mysteries and Manners

Describe a morning in your life primarily through your sense of smell. Repeat, describing the same morning, primarily through your sense of hearing. Repeat again, using your sense of touch and the tactile world as the point of view.
