World Hug Days!

It’s World Hug Day today! We have special World Days and International Days for those things which are most critical to life (Earth Day, Water Day, Peace Day, Forests Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day…). And yes, hugs are critical to life! Hugs are one of the most incredible ways of physically and physiologically experiencing our boundless, boundary-less Oneness with the universe. Sadly in these days of Covid hugs have become dangerous no-nos, but it’s given us an opportunity to find that experience of oneness in other ways. We’re learning to embrace through our eyes, rather than our arms. We’re learning to hug ourselves and to feel the love of the Divine Universe. We’re learning to hug trees, the soil, our animal sisters and brothers…. and yes, we’re learning patience as we eagerly await the day when we can once again embrace each other. Here are some of my favorite hugs over the years…. May the images inspire you to reach out and hug someone — or to hug yourself, or a tree!
