There is something very intrinsic in our nature that tells us when we touch things they are real.  We often use other terms to describe touch. As a way of annoying each other, my sister and I would hold up a toy for when the other asked to see it and say “see!”  We knew full well that what the sister wanted was to touch it and play with it.  It’s not like this stops when we reach adulthood. The understanding of a concept is made real for us when we have a tangible model or are present at the actual event. We are more convinced by something when we can touch it with our own hands.  The tangibility factor is how we create a deeper sense of reality.  We have so many sensors in our hands and fingers that just the act of touching something lights up parts of our system of which we have no conscious awareness.  Think of the difference between the first time you saw someone you were attracted to and the first time you touched them.  Hmmm, just thinking about it makes me light up inside.  The tangibility factor speaks to the limitations our minds have in conjuring ideas.  Only by incorporating the tangibility of something into the picture does it seem real.  The tangibility whether real or imagined awakens senses in our hearts, our bodies, our emotions, and our spirits. Tangibility awareness is the attunement to the power of embodying a reality.  It incorporates action which takes something out of the head and into our lives.  God invites us to a tangible relationship with the unbelievable through faith.  We may not understand God in our minds, but by allowing the tangibility of our everyday human experience to sink in we can embody the miraculous nature of life by simply taking in a breath.  Our lips, lungs, diaphragm, and every one of the cells in our body can awaken the reality of being alive when we allow ourselves to be present with the tangibility of our breath.
