She walked up to me with open arms and said, “You look like you need a hug.” So that she did, she gave me a hug- and little did I know, I needed it.

Open Arms
I rest better knowing he was here and that he’ll come back you know how a puppy jumps for joy at reunion with its master? Though he is not my master, that’s me, waiting at the door all senses armed ready to explode with joy. Wanting the moment when he walks through the door smiles, and hugs me like he wants to squeeze me flat. “Do you think about me as much as I think about you?” He asked, loosening his hold so I could breathe. “Probably not,” I lied. “Savageery,” he said, chuckling. . .

Part One: Winter Solstice on the Columbia Plateau The desert has gone quiet in that way only winter knows a hush stretched thin across the basalt, like a blanket pulled up to the chin of the earth. Frost feathers the sagebrush, each branch a tiny cathedral window catching the last scraps of dusk. The air smells of stone and sleep. Your breath rises a small, wandering animal seeking shelter in the starlight. The cold here is ancient. It moves slowly, like a glacier remembering itself, curling around your ankles, tugging at the hem of your coat as if to say: Stay. The night is long, but it is not lonely. Above you, the sky opens a black bowl rimmed with fire, Orion sharpening his belt against the edge of the horizon. The Milky Way spills across the dark like someone knocked over a lantern and let the sparks run wild. And in this vast, frozen quiet, a warmth finds you. Not sudden more like the slow bloom of embers in a stove you thought had gone out. It gathers behind your ribs, spreads to your fingertips, wraps itself around your shoulders like a friend’s coat offered without a word. Here, on the longest night, in a desert that pretends to be empty but is full of breath and waiting, you are held. The earth tilts. The stars lean in. And you you glow like a coal the solstice refuses to let go. Part Two: Solstice Snuggle in the Sagebrush Tonight the desert is wearing its biggest, puffiest winter coat. Every sagebrush has a frosty hat, and the rocks look like they’re tucked in for bedtime. The air is so cold it nibbles your nose just a tiny nibble, like a curious Mose saying hello. Your breath floats up like a little cloud creature, stretching and yawning before it drifts into the stars. If you listen close, you can almost hear it whisper, “Wow… the sky is HUGE tonight.” The moon hangs low, round as a cookie, and the stars sparkle like someone spilled a whole jar of glitter across the dark. And right in the middle of this big, chilly desert, a warm feeling finds you slow and soft, like a cozy blanket wrapping itself around your shoulders. It says, “You’re safe. You’re glowing. You’re part of this night, too.” So snuggle into your coat, wiggle your toes, and let the longest night give you a gentle hug. Tomorrow, the sun will start coming back but tonight, the stars are keeping watch just for you.

Why hook?
I. The Scientific Hug A hug is a laboratory of love: oxytocin released like a secret potion, immune systems strengthened by touch, heartbeats slowing into harmony. The body knows what the mind forgets: that survival is not only food and air, but warmth pressed skin to skin. II. The Cosmic Hug Two galaxies collide, and stars are born. So too when two humans embrace: worlds merge, boundaries dissolve, and the infinite remembers itself. A hug is the Big Bang in miniature, a reminder that creation began in closeness, and continues whenever we hold each other. III. The Philosophical Hug Chaos reigns in headlines, in streets, in minds. But a hug is a quiet revolution: a refusal to let entropy win. It is compassion embodied, a gesture that says: I see you, I will not let you vanish. In hugging, we affirm existence, and in being hugged, we are affirmed. IV. The Personal Hug Think of the child clinging to a parent, the friend folding into another’s shoulder, the lover breathing into a chest. Each hug is a vow: You matter. You are not alone. And in that vow, humanity survives. V. The Eternal Hug Beyond science, beyond philosophy, a hug is prayer. It is the finite brushing the infinite, the skin becoming a doorway to spirit. Every hug is the universe practicing love, and every embrace is eternity rehearsed.

unsure
I want to feel your ribs not to count not to measure but to know… you are real. Your heartbeat hums like a secret I almost can’t hold without breaking. I float in your chest light enough to vanish but heavy enough to leave a mark. Fingers trace shadows that aren’t there and I breathe the quiet between your bones. Hold me or don’t I’ll still remember the warmth that lives in absence. And maybe we are both learning how to fill the empty spaces without disappearing.

I take an icy, Velvety peach With bruises From the refrigerator. It smells Sweet and refreshing, Like someone hugging In the rain. I carefully bite off. Bite by piece. Sour coolness Remains in the mouth. Now it is a release for him. After all, he lay alone Among five white apples.

There comes a time when the road calls your name This is for the ones finding their way Some stories begin when you leave the page you knew Some stories begin when you leave the pain you knew As you're getting ready to step into the new   Fresh winds calling, skies a different hue   Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new   A young heart finding its way—who knew? Wishing you moments of laughter and grace   Prayers always for you, in life’s wild race   Strength, courage, healing, and wisdom too   For a life that's radiant, meaningful, and true   Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new   A young soul on the rise—who knew? Though we haven’t walked all roads side by side   We still cheer for you, with hearts open wide   Don’t let the past keep you in its bind   New hopes, new starts, leave no dreams behind   Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new   A young soul on the rise—who knew? Be kind, be bold—but guard your flame   This world can smile and still play games   Not all who reach out have hearts that are true   So trust your gut—it’s always guided you   Never give up—kept faith will win the fight   Even in shadows, you carry your light   And when the weight feels heavy, or dreams feel far   Reach out—we're here, no matter where you are   Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new   A wise heart grows where the brave pursue   Let joy be your compass, let time be your guide   We believe in the fire you carry inside   Be true to yourself and hold your truth tight   Storms pass—your light will win the fight   Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new   A young soul on the rise—who knew? May love surround you, wherever you roam   Your new place awaits, but you'll always have  a home  here Chase your own sunrise, let your heart lead the way   And may hope and faith guide you each day   Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new   A young soul on the rise—who knew?

Ugly cry
I guess I just miss you. Never once did I actually Think that I’d have to get used to Not seeing your face daily; Not being able to talk about Whatever I needed out of my system; they say That girls take too Many pictures but obviously it isn’t true Because there’s not a day That passes without me Wishing I’d taken more of you. I’d do anything to be Teleported back in time, into Your arms. And even though The height difference between us was so Large, you were always the one That had the bigger piece of my heart. I hate us having to be apart. I bet you’re tall now. It’s been Far too Long since I’ve last seen You.

I Bet You’re Tall Now
You were in my arms Now you're in distress From all the nights you cried Still saddened by this loneliness I'm familiar with that state And how it takes me down again Down this rabbit hole of regrets And the thoughts of what I said So I'll make sure you never stumble When you're running up ahead I'll keep you in my arms As I calmly brace your head And if the world has turned to mayhem And is on its final legs I can hold you for eternity Until you're feeling safe again Before you're leaving me to run Towards the sun you're convinced is red Still searching our bluest ocean As you're laying on its bed So I'll do everything I can To make sure you have some friends Who can be there when it's rough When your days are blue again

In my arms.
I feel the cozy, warm, soft and pure sheet around my back, shoulders and arms, it’s so light it’s so soft until it tightens its grip and you feel its hip. The sheet becomes hard and cold when you feel its eyes digging into your cries. Tight and dark when the sheets chest presses onto your ******* Suffocating and breaking when its neck feels like a whole ship wreck around my aching neck . The river down my cheeks even if I know that it was just a wrap around me.

Wrapped
I am the giver of hugs, The dispenser of caressing comfort, The holder of those in need, The squeezer out of pain and sorrow, The shutter out of this world and its woe, If only for a moment a head Upon my shoulder Is free of sadness and sorrow, Free of fear and frustration, Safety resides within my embrace, Sanctuary whence nowt can reach thee, But right now it's the hugger In hugging need, That tap gushing From a bottomless jug has Just a hint of falter, A tiniest reduction of pressure, Insufficient for regard by others But keenly felt by me, Hints at limits being reached, And I rail against that potential Failure to project and protect, So here I am, Pouring out hugs, While inside every sinew Screams for someone, Anyone in fact, to see ME, See the pain and need, See my faltering heart And hope, And step up, Wrap me in THEIR arms, Hold me and heal MY broken Worn out heart a bit, So I can hold and heal Those many more Still in need.

"Squeeze Please" presents as a cute word rhyme, But its grip and depth Is unique and sublime. Part hug, some cuddle, but More like a tickle... It's fickle!! Yet, I sense familial love songs When My limbs contract to stop his wiggles- And then, Before he starts his giggles... My knees squeeze... That’s when I heard, Without one word... Squeeze because you love me; Squeeze because I love you; Squeeze because I feel protected; Squeezing keeps we two connected. Squeeze Please makes me feel secure. Please squeeze... please... squeeze please me more. Squeeze me to my happy place. Squeezing tells me that I’m safe. A squeeze will make me feel content Your squeezes tend to give me strength. Then Squeeze tight for respite and peace, Like a weighted blanket as I sleep. Squeeze me like a pet boa, Squeeze because you're my own Granda. I hear and listen when he says Squeeze Please; That cute word rhyme really speaks to me. (Now loosen and Squeeze Please some more.........................)

When "Not" Means "Why Not."
Some of my heroes wear a cowl or a cape, they might wield a shield, swing from a web or swing a big hammer. Some of my heroes wear a smile in the face of foaming anger and throw a mean hug that will make you stagger. I know who I'd rather be my first responder.
