On Reading

This is the first time I am doing this so it is not going to have any definite structure. One thing I want to accomplish from deep stash is I want to be able to articulate the things I learn in a more elaborate and systematic way. It has been a couple of years since I started to read books, and I have learned many things during the last years. I don't know what exactly I am trying to say in this article but it doesn't matter because no-one is going to read it anyway, in some sense I am doing this for myself.

The Power Of Touch

I just finished reading the book Power of touch and in a way this book has changed my perception of communication. Prior to encountering this book , touch was a subject of taboo for me and I would not have imagined myself talking about touching. Phillis K Davis talks about this term "skin hunger" and how our bodies have a necessity for touching. The sad thing about our society is that we have been deprived of this basic need for too long because touch is regarded synonymously with sexual intercourse.

There's more

Now that I just finished writing 2 new ideas I feel like I have much more to say, yet I don't know how to articulate what exactly it is that I am trying to convey.

Its the small things that make you look really small

I really resonate with this idea that I picked up from "The Power Book" by Rose Herceg. She talks about it is the really small things that we don't give much attention to that really determines our worth. It is kind of scary because we don't give much conscious thoughts to the small things we do like making your bed after getting up, but it is also empowering in some sense because it doesn't take much effort in doing these small things. It gives me hope because I don't have to make drastic life altering decisions to have high status, I simply have to start small and be consistent with it.
