“The spiritual man, the man who has the Spirit of God is attentive where ever he passes by; he is all eyes, all since of smell. All his senses are alert and they are alert to the Spirit of God. He is different. He sees everything and hears everything: he sees the birds, the stone, the butterfly… When he walks by somewhere he senses each thing, a fragrance for example. He lives amid everything… Grace makes him attentive. He wishes to be to gather with all things.”
(St Elder Porphyrios in ‘Wounded by Love’)
