Touch by Diane Ackerman Response


Touch can mean different things to different people.  Touch can represent either being touched physically by someone or something, or touched emotionally.  Some people may abuse touch or some people use it to comfort.  For example, touching and being touched by our mothers is the most significant memory of love, which helps us live a long life. Who knew that even being hugged or touched by you’re mother, as a child, would help a person grow, which can even decrease stress.


Without knowing it, touch allows us to find our way in the world, through the darkness or though light.  Touch allows us to figure out if something is hard, soft, heavy, or light.  Touch fills our memory with important details as to how we are formed.  Touch can even bond us to another person, through a kiss.   Touch is everywhere, whether you think it is or not.
