How I know

by Shannon McEwen

It isn’t the big events
Grand gestures
Declarations
Or public displays

But the way
You pull me close
Run your long fingers
Softly
Rhythmically
Along my scalp

Just because I like it

I am in total agreement and empathy with this lovely ode. life is hardly about the grand gestures but little tokens of humility, of human hand clasping human hand in ways which widen the heart significantly to feel. so loved.
