Day Ten.

I love contact.
Tracing the contours of your body,
Feeling the bones and muscle tissue in your back.
Jaw lines and spinal cords and hip bones.
Ridges and finger tips and ribs.

When I was little, I used to play this game at sleepovers where you trace things onto someone's back.
My dad gave me this book about massage, so I would flip through it with my friends, trying every single technique.
And when I was in grade six, I got the first degree of Reiki.
[Reiki is a healing art where you channel life energy into someone's body using your hands.]
Just being close, and feeling their heat and feeling alive is so amazing.
