Thoughts and a Keyboard

The other day, I was at a rehearsal, leaning against the block in the back, reviewing lines. Then this guy comes over, this great guy, who I’m friends enough with but we’ve never been particularly close I suppose. And without a word, he just comes over, sits on the block and rests his back against me. You know, I think it would be a better world if things like that happened more often. If we weren’t all so… reserved. If we weren’t so afraid of touch and other people. I’m sure it’s been proven that human contact betters our lives in some way. Stress relief, mood booster, something. If we lived in a world where everyone was more comfortable just touching other people, getting close, sharing our lives. I’m not talking about inappropriate touch. Nothing sexual. Just friendly, caring, loving contact. Because that’s all we need, sometimes, you know? Reach out.
