The Human Touch

A  L  O  H  A !
“It is an absolute human certainty 
that no one can know his
 own beauty or perceive a sense 
of his own worth until it has been 
reflected back to him in 
the mirror of another loving, 
caring human being.” 
                                John Joseph Powell















“Too often we underestimate
 the power of a touch, 
a smile, a kind word, a
listening ear, an honest compliment, 
or the smallest act of caring, 
all of which have the 
potential to turn a life around.” 
                                      Leo Buscaglia















“Touch is the most basic, 
the most nonconceptual form 
of communication that we have. 
In touch there are 
no language barriers; 
anything that can walk, 
fly, creep, crawl, or swim 
already speaks it.” 
                         Ina May Gaskin

We all long for the Human Touch
but not everyone knows
how to provide it.

When we become upset,
or lost, we need
eye contact and patience.
We need a person to
take a moment, to listen
to care.

This should be
a No - Brainer.

But it is not. 

These basic
human skills 
have grown rare.

BE the one who cares.
Look for small opportunities
to pause, to listen,
to Care.

And Thank You
for Your Care
that I feel.

You are most
Appreciated!
