I couldn’t invent that if I tried.  Texture is so important in our lives.  Even if our sight or hearing is failing, the sense of touch is there.  I can’t show you how this rock surface felt, but I think you can imagine it.

Had lunch with a friend.  We hugged.  Some family came to visit today and we all hugged.  Those hugs give texture to our lives.  I remember a singer-songwriter from the ’80s, Charlotte Diamond.  She wrote a song called “Four Hugs a Day [that’s the minimum]” and it made an impression.  I think I’ve given/gotten at least 12 today.  A good day!
