It is a great gift to be able to reveal myself, as am. Likewise, it is such a great giving when something or someone reveals themself to me, as they are.
The reveal is often by sight or sound. But the strongest giving and receiving of reveal is in touch. In touch there is the most powerful reveal of presence and essence. I touch the earth, I touch the tree, I touch someone’s arm, and their presence is revealed in the most abundant manner.
I have sometimes marveled how sight has been how reveal has unfolded. I also think that touch is more revealing than sight. I encourage kids to touch plants in my garden, one-finger touch, because that is how reveal takes place at a deeper level than what sight alone can provide.
I would never want to lose the benefit of sight and what is revealed through sight. Still, I am aware of how the greater wonders are revealed in touch. In touch I come closer, I feel deeply, I become more intimately aware.
