GO ON, GIVE SOMEONE A HUG TODAY

2008.07.25
A hugger with serious intention ....

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.

(Shel Silverstein, Hug O' War)

A successful second hug ...

Millions and millions of years would still not give me half enough time to describe that tiny instant of all eternity when you put your arms around me and I put my arms around you.
Jacques Prévert

A hug is a handshake from the heart.

Free Hugs

I was walking down Milsom Street in Bath late last year and spotted a man with a large banner offering free hugs. At first I just observed him and people's response to his offer to give them a hug. We live in such a cynical world. I was amazed at how most people ignored him pretending he was invisible. After fifteen minutes someone asked him for a great long hug. She walked off refreshed and happy. It seemed such a good idea that the disconnected photographer in me threw lenses to the wind and went for a hug. I discovered what the previous hugged person went away knowing. So if you ever come across a person with a sign saying FREE HUGS don't just walk past, go for a hug. Or better still, offer free hugs yourself. Go to the Free Hugs guide.

Happy hugging - GO ON, GIVE SOMEONE A HUG TODAY.

Cherax Wonderful stuff. With all the hateful, violent things in the world, this is inspiring, and a reminder that we all have a heart however deeply hidden.
