What We Touch Touches Us

By Don Iannone

Sometimes you touch things,

and they touch you back...in very special ways

that you never expected.

Sometimes you have to lose yourself in things

to find parts of yourself

that you never knew existed.

Sometimes the things you touch

are more powerful than you ever knew.

You might not have touched these things

if you knew their power beforehand.

We should never forget that we live

in a completely conscious and alive universe

that needs us as much as we need it.

So we shouldn't be surprised

by the power of all things we touch.
