Touch

"A  carpenter looking for rough patches may run a thumb over the plank of wood he has just planed. A cook may roll a bit of dough between  thumb and forefinger to test its consistency"(Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses).

As an artist may create with their sense of touch. As I thread the needle I manage to prick my finger multiple times as I think about our sense of touch. It reminds me of  walking on the beach stepping on sharp shells,  Like the sand that sticks between my toes and the ocean waves that splash across my body one wave at a time.  I feel the earths sense of touch all around me.  As each wave surrounds my body I feel effortless floating through infinity.
