I believe the power of touch
Comes not just from a gentle caress
Or shielding and protective hug.
But from the gentle word spoken for a hurting heart,
A kind smile shared tenderly with a troubled soul,
A soft and deep sigh of contentment shared with love,
A pause in life to listen to another’s troubles or pains,
A quiet commitment of action to someone’s need,
A direct look into another’s eye with a nod,
A whispered breath exhaling the power of an emotion just shared.
I believe in these powers.

Just the words I needed to read today Colleen. I had a fun day, but it is still one week since my hubs death, and even having fun couldn’t erase the memory. Thank you.

Thanks Colleen. Most of them help, some of them hurt. My friends are helping me a lot, and the pros have started coming in to visit. Could be good, could be bad, but I’ll try it for a bit and find out.

I can easily see that you must have such a gentle hand that comforts others with your words and your actions. What a value you bring to those you love in your home and family, but also in the workplace. This is lovely, Colleen.
