… I turned my back to leave, and at that very moment, I felt a hand on my shoulder, it was a warm hand, felt the energy, the vibration from the hand go through my body, I paused, stopped in my track and wondered for a split second, slowly I turned back to behold the face, it held my glaze, not in a confrontation manner but in sincerity and honesty, then she spoke to me, she really spoke to me, she didn’t talk at me, we talked but she also listened to me and heard me and we empathised with each other, we said we will catch up and then she rushed off.
My bags were packed already, but I though I might as well do the polite thing and say a little hello and have some small talk, none of it is ever deep, neither party is ever into it. You hardly hear or pay any attention to what each other is saying. It is just the ‘thing’ to do. She truly surprised me because with my ‘how are you?’ She told me exactly how she was, what has been happening to her, how she felt about various things. I must admit I was pleasantly puzzled, did she get me mix up or something? She treated me like a friend. I felt like a friend, she felt like friend, it was warm, it was good. I felt good, I felt happy.
She has always been good to me, about the only one, I hate to admit. She has a sincerity in her eyes and vulnerability about her. She is grounded and down to earth. She is truly lovely if I will be honest, but she took it up a notch! She reached out and opened up. She revealed more and shared more. I was touched. I felt happy and warm.
Heaven knew I needed a touch on my shoulder and I got it.
You will get a touch on your shoulder!
