Hugs

Embracing, caressing and yearning….

Hugs are amazing …

They’re energizing…

Have you ever had one…?

It’s like a clear day coming into your soul and lighting you inside.

It’s like a hot bath that relaxes you

as the warmth of the water embraces your whole being.

It’s just fantastic… to be hugged.

And to embrace in return…

When two people submerge into each others arms,

holding the embrace for the longest time,

There is an exchange of this heavy breathing and comfortable sighs.

And you suddenly don’t want to breathe anymore

and don’t want to let go.

Don’t ever pat someone when you hug…

That just lets the energy disperse

instead of gathering itself around you.

You must feel a hug.

Don’t spatter this moment of intense intimacy…

You will regret it always.

Embracing involves caressing…

It’s the holding that matters.

Putting yours palms against the persons’ body and trembling.

This must be that special touch

that comes from sharing special moments.

And then, very soon after the hug…

Comes the yearning…

Wishing for more.

You must not confuse this feeling.

It’s a feeling of leisure, not anxiety.

It’s a growing sensibility…

A multiplying explosion within,

that gives you a sense of belonging.

If I could,

I would invite everyone to have this experience often.

If I could,

I would urge everybody to try it and learn.

If I could,

I would spend my life teaching others to hug themselves.

Maybe, just maybe…

If people learned to hug..

They could see each other in the eye

and make peace instead of war.

And maybe, just maybe...

We could all be naked and see each other as we really are.

And with the nearness of an embrace

We could let go of all our insecurities and feel tied to life.

And embrace with our eyes...

And caress with our hands...

And all our senses could come to life,

as they were at the beginning of time...

And then,

And only then, can we smell each others aromas...

And only then, can we hear each others goals.

And only then, can we talk in silence…

And in a murmur know…

That maybe we have become wise.
