sensations

- the sun on my body but not my face as i am lying in my beanbag/cushion nook in the lounge
- sheepskin
- heavy blankets
- scalp massages
- nakedness against someone who is fully clothed
- kissed ears
- touching flower petals with thumbs
- walking through long grass
- the weight of a book in your hands
- typing on the keys of my macbook
- hands, palm to palm
- touching my shoulder with my cheek
- dog's floppy ears
- cat's noses
- that time i took bites out of my plum and fed it to ducks out of my hand, the feel of their beaks in my palm
- submersion in water
- being in a good hug from a friend
- hot water bottle on my tummy

(currently experiencing 3, 10 and 18)
