The air felt like rain, but there were no clouds.

• A person is alive only to the degree that he or she is aware. To make the most of life we must constantly strive to be aware of the importance of being aware.

We eat food without tasting it, listen to music without hearing it, smell without experiencing the pungency of odors and the delicacy of perfumes, touch without feeling the grain or texture, and see without appreciating the beauty around us.
