Haptic communication

“A psychologist Tiffany Field remind us that touch is the first sense to develop, and it functions even after seeing and hearing begin to fade. It remains a fundamental mode of communication throughout a baby’s first year and an important influence throughout a person’s life. Margaret Atwood, a Canadian poet, said that touch comes before sight, before speech. It is the first language, and the last, and it always tells the truth. Jack Kornfield, an American author and Buddhist teacher, told us that the things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another. Jane Harrington claim in her book that when you touch a body, you touch the whole person, the intellect, the spirit, and the emotions.”

因此,我曾經相信,只要主動觸碰你,就能重新展開溝通。可是,當我好不容易從人群中找到你時,我牽起你的手,你卻沒有回過頭來。你甩開了我的手,漸漸淹沒在人群中。

Vera Nazarian, the author of The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration, said that sometimes, reaching out and taking someone's hand is the beginning of a journey. At other times, it is allowing another to take yours.

那時候我就應該要明白,我們的旅程早已完結。

“That’s what it feels like when you touch me. Like millions of tiny universes being born and then dying in the space between your finger and my skin. Sometimes I forget.”
― Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You
