Our skin is the first boundary, a subtle veil separating our inner world from everything that exists outside of us. It holds us apart, yet it is also what makes contact possible. It is paradoxical, at once an armor and an invitation to closeness.
When we touch or allow ourselves to be touched, we cross into another’s domain, not just their body, but the territory of their trust. We are not merely permitting contact with the body, but with the entire landscape of our being. Every gesture, every caress, becomes a conversation between two worlds, momentarily harmonized.
The skin remembers every gesture. It translates warmth, tenderness, and longing into the language of feeling. It is a sacred conduit, an offering to the elemental harmony that binds all living things:
self and other,
seen and felt,
human and divine.
