the Andrea Gibson quote we opened with:
“I have never met a heavy heart that wasn’t a phone booth with a red cape inside
Some people will never understand the kind of superpower it takes for some people to just walk outside
Some days I know my smile looks like the gutter of a killing house
But my hands are always holding tight to the ripchord of believing”

While traditionally we think of 5 senses, the 6th sense came to my mind during my conversation and it turns out there are many more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense
