Wisdom for the night:

Many people fail at #love because their #fear of opening up to the other person is greater than their longing for #closeness and #trust, and their bad experiences are stronger than their best hopes.

I was recently reminded about the project I created for #SexTechHack 2017: Touch Pairing
The project explored closeness and intimacy for people at a distance, without speech or contact
Touch Pairing offers a shared screen where gestures and motions are visible and shared with your partner.
I've rustled up the old code, slides, and video... and backdated a new post

"They tried to arrest him again, but he eluded their grasp. He went back across the Jordan" (Jn 10:39-40).

"Jesus distances himself from those who want to kill him, without running away from his mission. Sometimes physical absence isn't a matter of distancing; it's another way of being present."
-Bishop Silvio José Báez, OCD
