gently holding ones hand
stroking ones
forearm with the backs of your fingers or kneading massaging their hands
wrists forearms biceps across the back of their shoulders their necks
touching
marvelously comforting possibly healing if one is deliberate focused

corporeal
unto something unimaginably
persistently ephemeral the touch persists on and on an on after it has ceased
phantom kneading
the human touch can be virtuous
a warm hearty familiarity an embracing compassion
