love will overcome...

[underblown]

Today I saw my friends and co-workers Joe (age 62) and Megan (age 19) giving each other a friendly hug. I walked to the front counter and said, "You know, I never get a warm, friendly embrace like that!" So I gave Joe a big hug; it put a smile on his face that could only be outdone by mine when he hugged me back

HUGS!!!

hehe. i read this just now and it kind of weirded me out cause i was thinking along the same lines up in ohio/kentucky. hugs are a much needed show of pure affection. there is too much distance in the aural "i love you" or "i kind of umm...like you a little bit", when a hug is something immediate: a shared experience that wraps up absolute trust and all kinds of affection all into one action. it doesn't feel so call and respondish. it feels fuckin' good.

peace,
tomo

ps. ummm...sorry we messed up your self cleansing. kind of feel guilty, but at least it was fun. i'm sure you can get right back into it without a problem.
