Writings: How many hugs? 4, 8, 12…no limit

As regular readers of the World According to Brother Ian, you know that I believe that the number to aim for (if you ARE aiming) is 12…how can you get the day taken care of, when you are hug-deficient?

Sure, monks live simply & fast at times & do without, but to go without your daily hug quotient means you you’re leaving out part of the equation: “Love thy neighbour as thyself.”

Seriously now, pup – you gotta love thyself. Open it up.

Handshakes are good, (kind of a little hug) but hugs are better.

And don’t just think about it. I remember famous Western philosopher Bob Hope saying people who blow kisses are hopelessly lazy. Applies here.

Here is Marcus’ take on the hug deal, from MindBodyGreen:

Hope I see you today. That way we can get you caught up.

Love you, dear brother & dear sister –
