10:48AM – I’m speaking with someone I’ve only just met & I just want to giver her a hug! Just a big “I love you!” hug for no reason. Yet, I hesitate and don’t. We finish our pleasantries & she gives me a great big hug! And I love it! Yay for her sense of belongingness!
Which takes us to one of my favorite poems by one of my favorite writers from one of my favorite books:
Hug O’War
I will not play at tug o'war. I'd rather play at hug o'war, Where everyone hugs Instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles And rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, And everyone grins, And everyone cuddles, And everyone wins. |
By Shel Silverstein |
