Deep in the dark night of the suffering soul comes a moment when nothing intellectual or psychological matters.  It is the time of the touch, the tender touch, a hand held, a cheek kissed, a holy embrace that conveys more to the human spirit than anything from tongue or pen.

From 1 Peter 3:8:  Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and a humble mind.
