    Thank you for re-sharing this story, it brought a tear to my eye...Just brings up the Human Need we all share for connection, for touch...how distanced we have all become from each other. In traditional society, we all had a place, we all knew our neighbours, we were included...

    Thank you Lyndsay for commenting. I'm glad to hear you were touched by the story, probably as much as I was at the time it happened.

    The small child was wearing dirty, ragged clothing, had longish, unkempt hair that seemed to not have been shampooed in a long time. I shall never forget her wide, yet sad eyes looking up at me.

    in traditional society, we all had a place, we all knew our neighbours, we were included...

    Yes, you are so right; our World has changed greatly in ways which are not all good.

    Do you wish that you could have helped her?

    I believe that, in a metaphysical way, I did help. As I stood in the doorway watching her being lead away, she kept turning her head to look at me with a soft expression on her face.
