holding hands
the intimacy of holding hands has been underated on the whole. interlacing of fingers. the exchange of chi between hands. how the energy swirls in the space between the slight cups of palms. connection of chakras? possibly. the caressing of the thumb in the base of the other.

did you know in reflexology, that is the place on your hand where you massage to treat your spine? it's called "walking the back".

imagine having your back rubbed in comfort merely having your partner caress your hand with his/her thumb while hands are interlocked. easing of hearts fluttering? possibly.. or possibly the quickening of hearts to the point where it ... skips.

with this in mind, please understand if i pull away and place hands in pockets. not ready for that right now.
