Ungloving
May 19, 2020I was looking at a few wise words this morning,and this one really made me nostalgic for, say, three months ago:
“It’s like wearing gloves every time we touch something, and then, forgetting we choose to put them on, we complain that nothing feels quite real. Our challenge each day is not to get dressed to face the world but to unglove ourselves so that the doorknob feels cold, and the car handle feels wet, and the kiss goodbye feels like the lips of another human being, soft and unrepeatable.” — Mark Nepo
