In a world driven by data, where technology seemingly trumps all topics, I’ve been feeling the call of the simple things that touch our lives. The immeasurable things that touch our body, mind and soul. The feeling we get when someone just says,” Hi, how are you today?” with that sparkle in their eyes and a genuine smile upon their face. When that person stops and pauses to actually listen to our answer(without looking at their cell phone), it’s a delight. The rush of emotions in motion when I hug my mom tightly. It fills me with an unexplainable joy and sadness at the same time. Joy that I can feel such warmth and connectedness to her through such a simple gesture. Sadness for the loss of my dad, and left wondering when the last time my mom has felt the loving touch of a kiss, a hug, or the warmth of a hand. I love the way great music can make our spirits take flight, transporting us right out of our bodies. It lifts the emotions. The intoxicating rhythm of the instruments. The soaring sounds of a soulful singer. It can set our heart and imagination on fire. Spirits fly on….. We touch each others lives in so many immeasurable ways. It is such a blessing to recognize the “little” things that happen. The holding hands. The inspiration we feel after a great speech. The voice that says “I care” just by it’s tone. The kind deed. The philanthropists gifts that touch our communities. The passion found in people’s eyes. The warmth of the breeze blowing by. Moments that make you stop, and sigh. The times we have to say goodbye. The beauty of tears when we cry The immeasurable dynamics between…. you and I.
