Single-Line Drawing Three

Working in the field of Cosmetology, I learn what it means.....hands on heads and hands and feet. There is something gained more by washing another's feet than receiving that same act, I think.


It isn't manditory....

this grooming thing,

one body's trust 

in another.

But it is healthy...

touching and being touched,

no motive beyond 'care.'

Just that, and that is much.

Touching and being touched is a realm enjoyed by social animals who never cease giving or caring...that is why it is SO much.

Touch is most healing, for without the loving touch
we slowly wither

giving of any type personal touching attention is done only when trust is envolved and earned

It's true, humans are social critters, I can visualize community grooming in the caves of our ancestors. A bonding does take place, a little differently than in a parlor, but there are similarities. I think you are right in that the giver, must have his or her trust earned,
thus a feeling of achievement when accomplished.
Achievement in a sense of harmony as you are the trusted in return as to how you handle your client.

Being a guy, the painted toenail graphic is out of my identity realm with the poem, but... I guess keeping our nose and ear hair touched up and groomed would be hard for a woman to identify with also. Yes... "just that, and that is much" is spot on for all of us.

"Just that, and that is much."

Yes. I can pretty much see that, Diana. Though I have never had my feet washed (well...er...), nor have I washed another's feet (well...er...), but I can identify anyway. It's the "giving" concept.
