Interactive Kinesthetic Telepathy

And what do I muse about today?

Hugs - that’s the most important thing. 

Oh, yes I have done all the usual house things.

You know, tidying, putting things away washing dishes, dusting.

And I’ve cut the grass, baked a loaf of bread, pulled a few more weeds, 

trimmed new little shoots from trunks of two old pear trees; answered emails, occasionally listened to the CBC radio.

But from early morning

the most important thing lacking

is very tactile in nature.

Hugs punctuate our lives in comma's and brackets. 

From the soft, warm hugs of a little one,

to the ‘I’m really an adult’ hug of a teenager;

sister/brother hugs,

friend to friend hugs

Hugs with tears of 

sadness

joy

excitement

glad to see you hugs

I’m proud of you hugs

good morning hugs

good night hugs

Lack of hugs is felt

so much more deeply when family 

tradition

genetics

learned behaviour

dictates that hugs be given

with both arms,

and tightly,

not so tight as to squeeze the breath out of a person or

break your back

but snuggly tight.

When nothing has to be said because

those snuggly, solid hugs say it all.

Just lovely and warm.

"There's something in a simple hug that always warms the heart.

It welcomes us back home and makes it easier to part."
