24 THE GRADUATE Jan-Mar 2013<br />
While each sensorial experience may<br />
be named and described differently<br />
using one’s cultural language and<br />
description, there is no denying a<br />
universality that runs through one’s<br />
sense of taste, <strong>to</strong>uch, smell, hearing<br />
and sight. Some even encounter the<br />
ethereal and mysterious sixth sense.<br />
May we absorb the experience, make<br />
it a part of us and send it forth as we<br />
share our lives <strong>with</strong> others.”<br />
