#36 Story Time: The Missing Touch

The crone was walking down the wooden pathway, carrying some
sticks and herbs. She was on her way to prepare a potion to
assist a group of people with connection problems.


This group has been isolated from one another for many months.
 They each lived in their own personal bubble and connecting
could only happen through electronic means.  You can imagine
what they had lost.  Not only did this effect the external
connections, it also interfered with the internal connections of
the individual.  People became insular, fear was growing and
distances between people seemed to become insurmountable.


The crone arrived at the clearing in the middle of the forest.
 There was a fireplace with a three legged pot.  She
fetched some water from the nearby brook and slowly started
putting her herbs in, whispering words of love, acceptance,
wonder and more love.  She also added some touch to the
potion.  It could not be physical touching, so she made it a
mental connection.  For now it has to suffice.


After many hours of chanting and stirring the potion, it was
finally finished.  With a wave of her magic wand she
dispersed of the potion into the universe spreading hope, love
and connection to all.
