The Healing Touch

Location: Forum Mall, Bangalore, India.

Main Characters: One baby around 8 months old and another close to a year

The Scene: The 8 month old baby bawling, his face red, being carried by his mother.

Enter Baby 2 – very happy about something, literally jumping in her dad’s arms, smiling away to glory.

The two babies face each other. Baby 2 reaches out to Baby 1, touches his cheek and smiles at Baby 1.

Baby 1 stops instantly crying, and a beautiful smile emerges from that tear stained face.

Baby 2 then touches Baby 1’s cheek once more, waves and exits still jumping in her dad’s arms.

Baby 1’s mom looks happy but quizzical as to what has caused a sudden change in her mood. She smiles, shrugs her shoulder and moves on.

Seems to me that Homo sapiens possess the healing touch from very early in life.
