Several days ago I had fun playing with my grandbaby in the car as her Mom ran errands. I began to move my hand to the music from the stereo, slowly weaving large arcs and little ones, sometimes letting my index finger lead the others in following a curve, other times letting pinkie choose its path. Kate seemed to enjoy following with her eyes. And then, in time to the music, I touched the tips of each of her outstretched fingers gently, one by one.
Today I read this from Wilma Ellersiek's Giving Love-Bringing Joy: "If careful, loving contacts are imprinted in the body, the child can also more easily establish a careful, nurturing relation with plants, animals, people and things in their surroundings."
