What One Can Do



As I watched this, I cried and cried. Hugger, Juan Mann (pun for One Man), goes round hugging in Sydney. Think his campaign is going world-wide. Read about it here and watch his interview. For those in Sydney @ the moment, Monday's declared 'A Day of Hugging' and the city will be hugged at noon. :)

Some people might cringe at this movement, but recalling the fact that there are people who exist without experiencing much human touch is very painful. According to Hugs Therapy (actually Virgina Satir, family therapist), research shows that "we need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth."

Just one person can have such a huge rippling effect on the world - read especially the comments on the youtube site.

Have you hugged someone today?
