If a flower bloomed in the forest with no one to smell it, would it have scent?
Even in a metaphorical vacuum, a flower would emit its perfume. But perfume is not scent; it is chemical compounds. It becomes scent when it connects with one who has a sense for translation.
And if the perfume found no receptor? Is the flower less alive? Would it, heartbroken, wither and die? No. A flower lives fully, perfuming the world.
Perfume may exist in a vacuum; scent only by virtue of connection.
Words are scent. Memories are. Love is. We are.
