"come to your senses"

isn't about using your brain

(or at least it shouldn't be)

it is an instruction to come into the current moment

imagine if we stopped

a few times each day

and truly came to our senses

maybe for a moment

all of our collective narratives

would pause

and we would simply

hear the sound of rain

smell the lilacs blooming

taste sweetness of an orange

see the colours of a rainbow

feel the warmth of a human hand

everybody, come to your senses
