National Hugging Day!

Oh what fun.
What a beautiful way
to express your inclusion;
to fill a chasm;
to hold someone together;
to spread a little love;
to provide hope;
to give joy and acceptance;
to care!

Go and wrap your arms
around another human being.
Not one of those loose, weak,
ass-out, back-patting hugs.
I'm talking
full on, squishing,
bone-crushing,
air-deflating,
putting all your feelings
into one single action
sort of hug.
The kind of hug
that leaves you truly feeling
enveloped and loved.
