4 On the first day, I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living. I don not know what it is to see into the heart of a friend through that “window of the soul”, the eye. I can only ”see” through my fingertips the outline of a face. I should like to see the books which have been read to me, and which I have revealed to me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit. In the afternoon I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate my eyes on the beauties of the world of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.

And the same method can be applied to the other senses.Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra, as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow.Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrow you tactile sense would fail.Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again...
