touch: a human sense

"hands..touching hands, reaching out, touching me, touching you...sweet caroline....." - Neil Diamond

"you've got the touch...when all hell's breakin' loose you'll be riding the eye of the storm..." - Stan Bush

I've noticed that couples have different ways of showing affection to one another.

For some it's back scratching, another pinching cheeks, another poking the face where as for some its the hand around the shoulder.

I remember my friend even stating that the way you hold your sig other's hand symbolizes affection. It can be the take by the hand, or hand in hand, like two parts that make a whole.

I'm fascinated by how intimate relationships are revealed by touch.

so much to do yet so little time,

"it still means something even though before you didn't know it did. Now it means what it is now that you do know."

The following a quick paraphrase of what a master teacher told me.

In the past, she used to work on vocabulary words. Ten a week, and five would be written in sentences. Then at the end of the week, the difficult ones were explained further in class. She would look words up on google and then have deeper interactions. She'd spend an hr a day on word study.

Fascinating work.
