The Forsaken Touch
Hugging. Touching. Snuggling. Feeling. There are very few physical pleasures which can be more rewarding or satisfying.
It is sad for me to think that there a number of people who cannot enjoy it the way I do. In every little gesture, it can be present. In every true friend relationship it can be there. Have you ever sat with a dear friend at a close range for hours and talked? Nothing but just sat close and enjoyed the presence of another person? It is truly an amazing thing.
It can be more powerful than any sexual intercourse type act. Sex is a byproduct of a mental relationship. Sex is the physical gesture and affirmation of love. And so is kissing. And so is hugging. And so is touching. We need touch. We love touch.
I need touch. I love touch.
Back to that sex thing. People use sex as a way to make up for the lack of a mental relationship or closeness instead of looking at it like it really is–something the is not only beautiful and majestic, but something to physically enact the mental relationship. That’s why we call it love making. And it is not as important or as powerful as true hug. A true foot massage. A true snuggle and falling asleep. I think there is nothing I like more with a partner (or friend/etc) than to fall asleep together… or maybe waking up together.
Your family, your friends, your lovers all need your touch. And you need theirs. Enjoy who they are, the person, the beliefs and values. And enjoy their presence. Rub each other’s backs. Hold hands. Just sit close and talk. Fall asleep together.
In all of your relationships, whatever you do, never let go.
