She especially liked to stick her hand inside the bell.<br />My own sense of touch (or its processing by the brain) is probably underdeveloped because to me the feeling itself is always secondary to something else: e.g., I love how Steinway pianos at CSM _respond_ to the touch, but I'm quite indifferent to the tactile sensation of the keys.<br />Recently my friend briefly held my hand: her hand felt nice and warm, but even then I wonder if the act of human connection was more important to me than the sensory part of it.</p>
