Synesthesia


Synesthesia (n):  a sensation produced in one modality when a stimulus is applied to another modality.

The dictionary definition is boring, clinical, dry, uninspiring. 

But the experience.  Oh the experience is unlike any other.  The sharp metallic sound of blue.  The anger of the number seven.  The sweet taste of Thursday.  The amber hue of certain notes when played by cellos.  The gentlemanly nature of the letter V.  The color of a barking dog.

It’s almost like breaking the fourth wall.  A shattering of the perceived universal reality becoming my own special understanding.

Maybe in heaven, we’ll all be synesthetic.

  3. You are most certainly the queen of last sentences. Every time you manage to blow me away with a thought that sticks in my head and sparks a million more imaginings. I especially love this one. Heaven will be amazing.
