How important is touch?

September 29th, 2010
Most of us live our lives insulated and disconnected from each other. Large open offices now are divided into cubicles. Assembly lines have never been a place where communication and commarderie were acceptable to management. While schools have large classrooms, students are expected to concentrate on the teacher.
When we get to college at some of the larger schools, lectures halls hold hundreds of students who variously pay attention or sleep or do work for other classes. Our work lives are often spent in competition for what seems like ever dwindling resources.
When do we have time to get to know each other? How are we expected to build deep, meaningful relationships? Who has time to touch a flower petal, a feather found on the sidewalk, or the hand of another person?
