When we isolate ourselves from other people we also isolate ourselves in the process.
Though it is good to go on silent retreat intentionally for respite from the world at large,
it is not good to cut yourself off indefinitely from human contact or human touch.
We do need each other. Ask anyone who has ever endured solitary confinement.
Babies in understaffed orphanages who are rarely touched fail to thrive and many will die from
not being held or talked to. Couples who do not touch will eventually get a divorce in most cases.
Children who are not hugged or kissed will act out destructively.
Hold someones hand. Kiss their cheek. Practice hugging a lot. Get a massage.Give a massage.
Pet your dog and scratch their ears. Give your cat a good brushing.
Touch, Touch and Touch Some More.
It is through our hearts that God touches us. Let that energy flow into and from you.
