A few years ago, when I needed to see a massage therapist about some back and shoulder issues, I was fretful, but I've since some to appreciate the sensitivity (in all senses of the word) of people in your line of work. In an age of fragile and phony connections, people are afraid of being truly touched and seen. You're working more than just their muscles and bones.Jeffhttp://www.quidplura.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349472.post-8803578871621689082017-05-16T09:57:35.690-07:002017-05-16T09:57:35.690-07:00Beautiful and calming words.

I really don't know how people who believe in God as a person can bear the weight of feeling that all things are meant, that the universe is fully intended: I would find that crushing.

If we are lucky, we touch the universe when we touch others through massage.<br /><br />Such a dreamy word, universe, yet I know it contains cataclysms as well smooth regularity. It's a strange thing to say but I am relieved at the impersonalality of the universe. Oh, my, yes, I am relieved. <br /><br />Are you?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855572012921889642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349472.post-25918078903058971872017-05-14T18:32:45.455-07:002017-05-14T18:32:45.455-07:00Beautiful, Dale.

I like passing along, being a simple little piece in a simple place.<br /><br />You know, I just spent three weeks in North Carolina, where I went to museums and restaurants and studios and galleries and many wild places with my mother. She's 88, and though she has some health problems, you can give her a staff (not a wizard's staff, just a stick) and she can go 3.5 steep up-and-down mountain miles before her legs hurt. She weaves; she gardens at home and at the NCArboretum; she volunteers. It's an inspiration to me to keep moving, keep in shape, keep curious, keep chasing after beautiful things, keep living to the max.marly youmanshttp://www.thepalaceat2blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
