 The Marvel of Human Touch
Touch and Tenderness, no 1
Of all our human experiences love is the strangest and the most beautiful of all. On the one hand it is so much part of our flesh and skin, of our bodily feelings. Yet it touches at the same time our deepest self, the inmost centre of our spirit.
What is the nature of touch? What is specifically human about it? How does it relate to love? Why does it make sense to be unselfish - also when we touch?
In this series we reflect on sensitivity. Do we appreciate the marvel of touch? Have we discovered the deepest meaning of God being Love? Can we touch? Do we allow ourselves to be touched?
