Sawaru (Touch)

All over the world, people are experience the amazing power of touch. The phenomenal healing sustenance it contains. Domesticated animals crave for someone to pet them. There is a soothing calm brought about only from touch. How easily one can melt from a simple hug or caress. Sometimes the worst battles, arguments and feuds are ended with a hug, graze of the arm, or better yet, a kiss. How amazing one can transform another from just reaching out and touching them. Wonder what it is about touch that can erase a inner madness. Touch can relieve pain or ignite passion. You can be touched tenderly to mend a broken heart or ease tears. A pat on the back for good job or a pat on the but for a great play. A high five in agreement or a handshake for a greeting! Body language on such a personal level and yet looked at as not so personal at all. Oddly enough it is the root of healing, the base for our one true purpose, reproduction. Even though technology has now made it possible for said purpose to be possible without touch. Nine times out of ten, things are pretty much done the old fashion way. So one has to recognize and appreciate the power, the glory, the beauty in touch. It all starts with that. A hello or a hi via words or a smile, a glance or an uncontrollable stare, it will either begin or end in physical contact. Contact. Take a second to absorb that word for all it's worth. Say it slowly and let it roll around in your mind and over your tongue mimicking the actions of waves in the ocean.
