Arms reach toward you to pull you into

a heart space.

A solid body pressed against yours.

Their scent fills you as you take deep breath after deep breath together.

Held as if this other beings soul purpose is to validate your presence. The movement of material and perhaps the sound of their voice vibrates not only in your ear but your skin and hair.

Depending on the hug you may hear a sob, a giggle, or a sigh.

A full body laugh or complete relaxation into the hug, a safe place. The sweetness of child’s hug or the a groove in the arm to cradle a babe are

physical positive life affirmations.
