Have heart for Joplin

For those of you who may not have heard, Joplin Missouri was hit by a devastating tornado last Sunday. It was an EF5 tornado. It’s path was a mile wide and four miles long. It leveled everything in it’s way. 

Here’s footage of the tornado itself.

I know people reblog things that are similar to this but PLEASE reblog this! Joplin is hurting right now and they need prayers and help. so PLEASE reblog this post!

When you hold my hand, you hold my heart

Holding hands may seem like an innocent gesture, but they show more than a simple interlocking of fingers. Your hands are one of the most essential parts of your body: you build with them, feed with them, hold with them, touch with them, fight with them; they are the tools of the human body. To take a hold of another’s hand is to break from living individually. It is to link yourself to another being, to momentarily entwine your life with another’s, to promise, for a moment, that you need not face the world alone. More simple, more aesthetically naive than other forms of affection, i.e kissing, hugging, sexing, the act of holding hands is often trivialized in its true implications. As the Beatles once said: "All I want to do is hold your hand."
