The Distance

This is a short piece I wrote many years ago. I like the image with the poem and the idea of touch as the central theme. At times, we get so busy we can forget how essential touch is to our experience, and how necessary. When I wrote this, I had my ideal in mind, my muse, if you will, but no real person. Now, I know what touch I longed to find; the singular experience of my wife's touch. She laughs at me when I talk like this, as she probably should, but she loves me anyway ;)
