I miss the warmth of hands, the gentle squeeze of flesh.

Even more, I miss being embraced, breath mingled, hearts connecting.]]> 2021-03-22 15:49:27 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/nwbr0so44wci2m7k/wish/1338658561 touch https://padlet.com/enflesehd/nwbr0so44wci2m7k/wish/1338804346 Reach out, even so; though skin to skin is lacking; allow the feelings in.

The truth of that metaphor lies in the raw power of flesh touching flesh

And every time we reach out in word/kindness/story it acknowledges that power and our need to share it’s overwhelming truth

We declare to you
What we have touched with our hands— 
The Word of Life fleshed!

A warm embrace 
A firm handshake 
Or a kind word to melt your heart.
We are touched - now, and then even more!afterr lockdown. ]]> 2021-03-23 01:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/nwbr0so44wci2m7k/wish/1340715970 https://padlet.com/enflesehd/nwbr0so44wci2m7k/wish/1340912202 That grating buzz of a hard-plucked bass string
Vibrates unsettlingly within
Yearning for the damper of a sturdy warm touch

In more than a year
My hands have lost their muscle memory]]> 2021-03-23 02:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/nwbr0so44wci2m7k/wish/1340945908 Touch https://padlet.com/enflesehd/nwbr0so44wci2m7k/wish/1341761434 Last week and this we bore witness

To senseless gun violence. We must touch

Each other with Love to end this sickness.

Touch-me-not describes the end of the life of the golden jewel weed flower.
The delicate flower morphs in to a fuzzy green pod which explodes on touch,
Scattering and sowing seeds for great distances around. ]]> 2021-03-24 01:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/nwbr0so44wci2m7k/wish/1345819315 https://padlet.com/enflesehd/nwbr0so44wci2m7k/wish/1360407286 I know now why Jesus said: "do not hold on"
If I could touch you once more, I would not
know how to ever let you go. ]]> 2021-03-27 21:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/nwbr0so44wci2m7k/wish/1360407286
