I really like thinking of the senses like horses.  To me it means they have a life of their own, a free spirit, they are sensitive and they are not enemies...  Like a horse will only cooperate when treated with kindness, patience, and intelligence, treat them that way.  And teach them to work together.  It is a beautiful life long project.  I have taken note of all the verses talking about the senses.  I am paying more attention to mine.  It is so interesting!!  With gratitude x
