Skin has the power to silence words.
The broth of thoughts feeds, stirs and overflows,
It pours out the mind-soup and soaks the entire being.
Through this infernal knitting, the words thus produced mesh the entire interior territory.
Always denser, it keeps tightening up: we knit our own suffocation.
This deadly profusion never seems to want to stop.
However, all this psychological magma lit under the pot of thoughts calms down in an instant. By surprise, caught himself in the trap of liberation, it remains silent.
At a point of contact, when the loving hand comes to rest gently on the skin of the being in the grip of the raging volcano.
At this skin coordinates, the fire of the interior lands is extinguished.
Rushing and crazy associations suddenly fall silent.
Through the pores thus touched, mental hell leaves, and the sky opens before our eyes.
And the wild river of the heart returns to its bed. The calm course of inner life resumes.
In this way, the caress is a meditation
Two people are then
a master and a disciple,
for the other.

I’m now wondering if you are going to incorporate hugging sessions (or, being Welsh, I could say « cwtching » sessions) in your daily practice…!

I might.
Though I’ve always made fun of such new-age tree-hugging practices..
I recommend this as a silent practice (meaning both without uttering a word and…without necessarily letting the other person know it is a ‘practice’) for couples,
long lasting, time-tested couples.
Looking back on those lines, I can now tell that this blog has changed me somehow.
Not sure I would validate such a change…but I observe it.
Life suffering has given birth to a milder/tender version.
I would have bet on the opposite.
Life’s full of surprises.

We cannot know what we will become. Only observe it happening.
Hmm… « will become » or « will be becoming »?

I know I’m supposed to grasp the subtlety of the continuous form….
but this morning, I just can’t…

Give it a couple of hours and some coffee…

24 hours and 5 coffees later,
Nothing new.

You are not on that abomination called decaff, are you?
It is meant to indicate an unending process. We never, finally, become anything, merely reaching another, transitional, development.
You need stronger coffee…

I need a more reliable brain equipment.
Becoming someone never attracted me anyway.
I felt the trap, the set-up stitches were too visible.
Costumes, customs, cues and queues…
Thanks for the explanation.
