Touch Changing Our Lives

By -
Throughout each and everyday of our lives we are constantly touching everything. I am currently touching multiple keys on my keyboard all at once, with my arm on the desk, sitting on my chair, with my feet resting on the floor. No matter what we are always feeling something through the sense of touch.

However, touch can be so much more than just a feeling. As Constance Classen, the writer of The Deepest Sense: A Cultural History of Touch, describes it as being so much more than just a feeling. The bond of touching between loved ones, or the strict feeling of pain we get through touch. Through a religious standpoint the feeling of getting baptized, for Christians, can be an extraordinary feeling like none other. 

For me when I was baptized the feeling was like none other. And I am sure that each and every person at some point in their lives have experienced some sort of touch that was like none other. It was special. And it shows just how the sensation of touch can be all that much more.

I don’t think my senses have necessarily heightened over the past 5 weeks, but I am actively making the choice to pay more attention to what I see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. I like going on nature/mindfulness walks and basking in the sunshine out in my backyard. This morning, I could hear a faint noise from the wind, hear the birds chirpin...

Food in the Afterlife

In Religion in the Kitchen: Cooking, Talking, and the Making of Black Atlantic Traditions , Perez talks of Ashabi and her grandchildren providing food offerings to their ancestors. This immediately reminded me of the practice of food sacrifice in early China. I've taken Chinese language classes for about 7 years now and in one of the lessons, we learned about food as well as the history of food in Chinese culture. Ashabi and her grandchildren would give food offerings to their ancestors every day. This included nine beverages (coffee, liquor, and water mixed with sugar and molasses) and nine square pieces of coconut topped with red palm oil and guinea pepper. The offerings would also include whatever food was dropped on the ground. In their house, food dropping on the floor signified more than it would in common American households. It signified that the ancestors wanted that food and had willingly made it fall to the floor. They also used dishware that had been chipped which was...
