When I was a child I studied health and biology. Topics within those courses included the classic five human senses:
• sight
• hearing
• touch
• smell
• taste
Later in the game came several more, including thermoception (temperature gradients) and magnetoception (direction) both of which I have as I am sensitive to heat and cold and have never been lost in many thousands of miles traveling in an automobile with neither map nor GPS.
June 24 is Celebration of the Senses Day. It is a day when we acknowledge our ability to perceive the world around us to varying degrees. Some of us have rather dull perceptions. Others of us sharp and precise perceptions.
The loss of some senses may be compensated for by others.
Regardless, they are a manifestation of that wonder called "life" and are worth consideration.
