  Mar 17 2012: Is a drink based on "yerba mate" that you out in a container, pour hot water, drink and pass around. No es ew, you dont get sick, actually is a pretty bonding experience. Mate is cool. Love mate.

  Mar 15 2012: Hello Joy, thanks for your comment. No, no studies and it is only my perception. I am not talking about the pace of the big cities, I am talking about the moments that we share with each other and specially the "human touch". Do we hug enough? Do we kiss enough? Do we embrace the other as our equal? Yesterday at the doctor there was an ad that said " You never know who you'll come in contact with. Take extra care", like the other person is dangerous to us, and I would like to believe that we can get a little closer even if you live in a isolated place. And everything will be a little better, a little warmer...
  Thanks, have a great day.

  Mar 14 2012: Growing up in church we have "the kiss of the peace" and we hold hands during the Our Father. Here in hte US the peace is a handshake and you only hold hands with your family. Those little details can make a difference in the way you feel or not part of a community.
  Thank You for your reply, have a great day!

  Mar 14 2012: Then, just reach to somebody and shack her/his hands. Hug somebody. Kiss a baby. It feels great.
  Thanks for replied, have a great day!

  Mar 14 2012: Yes Ken, is probably us, the south/americans...maybe we all need a little more of that latino touch. Do you drink mate with your uruguayan work partner? That is the highest level of "touching" that I know without getting into other field...
  Have a great day, thanks for participate on the conversation!
