For several years now, I've been using my senses as a creative writing and photography prompt. My senses are my favorite creative tool because they are always available! Finding my senses through my camera lens (or through words) is a great exercise to help me get out of my head and often anchors me and reminds me to notice the beauty around me. I also use it as a meditation.

You can read more about this practice in my book Inner Excavation: Explore Your Self Through Photography, Poetry, and Mixed Media
