What's happened to running in the rain and picnics in the meadow?
We no longer run in the rain, walk in the mud, eat in a meadow, swim in a creek.
We now drive in a car, walk in a mall, eat in a restaurant, swim in a gym.
We no longer touch life like our forefathers once did.
Gone is the sting of the evening breeze on our wet face and the welcoming warmth
of the crackling hearth fire. This has been replaced by climate control.
Gone is the bump and jolt of the wagon traveling the dusty road.
This has been replaced by automatic luxury cars.

What's happned to your Persecuted Sense?
When we consider our five senses we quickly realize that four of our senses (sight, taste, hearing and smell) are enjoying sensual overload, while touch is being persecuted. Modern society with its eclectic mix of creature comforts seeking to pander to our every need is, in so doing, insulating us from touching life. The message is screamed by society, by the media, by parents, by colleagues - “Don’t Touch!” and with unerring subservience, we obey. .

What's happened to our energy, our vigor, our health?
Why is it that we feel so used up? Why do we feel like we have so little energy anymore? What happened to the energy we used to have?
And so we spend millions of dollars trying to fix our waning energy and our waxing waist, our decreasing joy and our increasing stress.Yet before us lies a simple solution, we need only reach out and Touch Life! We need to rediscover the simple zest for life that people seemed to have a hundred years ago. It was a life of open fields, fresh air, hot sun, cool rivers, dusty roads - but it was a life pulsating with energy, with touch.

and live a more relaxed life”.

“Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in the shaft of winter sunlight”
