The feel of things
by Paul McGowan
We absorb much of our physical world through two of our five senses: eyes and ears.
And while adequate for most of life's activities I sometimes feel a disconnect. Walking through the woods can seem like a distant movie, so I often caress a tree's bark to feel more connected. And the funny thing is, that turns out to be the one memory I retain of the hike.
You can probably relate. Ever notice how your first impulse is to touch something of beauty? The smooth surface of a sculpture, the softness of a fabric.
We're closer to physical objects when we engage more of our senses than just eyes and ears.
I recently learned of a wonderful review site that focuses only on touch. The first time you engage with this guy you laugh. And you should. It's certainly tongue in cheek. But then…
I had a great belly laugh watching this 20-second video review of Naim's new little server.
But it reminded me just how important the touchy-feely part of us is.
