On special occasions, when we are able to escape the sensibility of our own head and reach out beyond our cloistered environment, the question then becomes, how do we touch?
How do we use our hands in a constructive format that isn’t clumsy or ham-fisted? There is a severe danger in trying to over-complicate our lives, by studying our motives to such a degree that we are frightened to motivate.
But there is one enlightening approach that never fails to deliver an exciting conclusion. When we don’t know how to touch the lives of other people, find a moment, an opportunity to pat them on the back–literally.
Understanding that people are disappointed, grief-stricken, uncertain or wounded, rather than trying to force our thoughts into their space, we can pause before leaving the room and touch them on the shoulder.
There is no greater tool of communication than the passing graze on the shoulder or the pat on the back.
Nothing needs to be said, no note is required to explain the meaning–just the simple confirmation expressed by that motion personifying, “I’ve got your back” takes any frustrated human traveler to tears.
It is the prudent, kind, tender and economic use of our touch.It doesn’t demand that the receiver be grateful or that they converse about their sensations concerning the overture.
It is the first step in understanding the Handbook on Hands.
As you leave the room, pat their shoulder.
It is powerful.

1. People underestimate your potential, opening the door to great surprise
2. You don’t have to fight and struggle. The opportunity will come.
3. You won’t be accused of cheating.

After billions of years of evolution, the ushering in of humanity formed in the image of the Creator, a season of Utopia, a betrayal of trust, a banishment, a murder between brothers, an exile of the accused and the birth of a new son who brought promise, things calmed down.
And this manufactured serenity was viewed by most parties concerned as positive–except God.
For you see, God knew that we, as people, are best when hassled. We are more powerful when weakened. We are smarter when survival is at stake.
And yet, human beings began to breathe, work, eat, sleep and die. Many generations passed, following faithfully on the redundant path.
But in the midst of this malaise, a tragic miscalculation transpired. Although, as monkey-angels, we were pulled from the jungle and merged with heaven to have a heart, soul, mind and strength, each individual member of our race began to focus on one of these aspects, usually to the exclusion of the others.
We became fragmented, causing us to chase figments of our imagination. It is a problem that happened thousands of years ago and still persists to this day.
For you see, some people focused only on the heart, becoming very emotional and therefore tossed to and fro by circumstance.
Others became “soulish,” with a desire to study and worship perceptions of the supernatural, which often made them superstitious and bitter over their earthly lot.
Then there was a contingency that preened their minds with knowledge, which often became arrogance instead of a mission to eradicate ignorance.
And finally, a goodly number chased after strength, following a sensual lifestyle, which only dealt with things of the body.
We became incomplete people.
We segregated into our colonies of interest and even warred with one another because we believed our particular rendition of human behavior was more suited for the times.
We lost our way.
In the midst of a calm came a doldrums–a sense of hopelessness because of the aching sensation of incompleteness.
Let us be clear:
We are heart creatures. Our emotions cannot be denied, but instead, should be passed along to our soul, where they can be clarified. Once we’ve achieved this cleanness, we can renew our minds with information that is personal and not merely related to the experiences of others. Once the mind is given a mission, the strength can be directed in more profitable and healthier choices.
Yes, the goal of the human race is to use our heart to reach our creative soul to renew our extended thinking to pursue deeds of fruitful daring.
Unfortunately, things became calm.
People got lazy.
And the door was left open for confusion.

As a teenager, one of the greatest horrors was having relatives visit, and feeling the need to communicate with me, they landed on one of two awkward questions:
Concerning the first question, how’s school?–it’s similar to asking an inmate about his progress in the prison.
And the second question is a bear trap lest you answer incorrectly, with an occupation they deem unacceptable … well, you may end up becoming part of a beheading.
I finally got fed up with the inquiry and told my stuffy Presbyterian aunt that I had aspirations of becoming a Buddhist monk. Gasping, barely able to catch her breath, she turned to my parents in alarm and said, “Did you know about this?”
I quickly retracted my statement, explaining that although I had the waistline of the Buddha, I did not share his politics.
Now, I have a granddaughter who will become fifteen years old on Monday. A recent survey of fifteen-year-olds asked the question: what do you want to be when you grow up? The top five answers: (1) Rich (2) Famous (3) Powerful (4) Beautiful (5) Sexy
So to my fifteen-year-old granddaughter, Isabella, let me say that when I grow up, I do want to be rich–possessing one more dollar than I need.
Certainly famous, in the sense of dazzling the handful sent my way.
Powerful? Yes. I fully intend to bring energy to wherever I am and whatever I’m doing, to make it more productive and joyful.
Now we come to beautiful. I guess my definition of that would be to bring along a complete package of myself that makes people want to be with me.
And finally, sexy. Yes, it is truly sexy to find one person who continues to yearn for your touch.
I do not know whether it is possible for someone in their teen years to grasp all these concepts. Shoot, I don’t know whether I do.
So there you go. That’s what I want to be when I grow up.
You can see why I decided not to be a Buddhist monk.
