About The To Touch or Feel Section

Posted on | January 13, 2008 |

Have I explained this one yet? Don’t think so.

Sometimes we numb out of life. We forget how it feels to really be alive. We take things for granted. We forget to notice sometimes the tiniest things. We forget how wondrous some things are and why we like or don’t like certain things.

In this section, to touch or feel, I remind you to get tactile with some common everyday things and ask you how it feels.

In a simple way, it somehow – though you feel stupid sometimes doing it – gives you a better appreciation and awareness of what is around you. You focus, you feel, you can write it down if you like, or add something to your list of what makes you smile.

To feel natural and manmade items on a regular basis (that’s right…I don’t expect you to do it daily although you can if you’d like) will bring out the inner writer in you as well. You’ll be able to describe things better and know how you’d describe something to a child just learning how to experience the world on his or her own.

It’s an amazing appreciation I hope you’ll come to love no matter how whacked-out it sounds right now.

Just try it for a week and see if you don’t start noticing more about what lies at your fingertips. It’ll be fun!
