you become aware, and grateful.
you appreciate, savor, and experience.
you feel more fully, more fully present.
you feel more and more deeply.
you feel its deep value, deep down inside you.
you let that value make a difference - to you and in you.
you let it enter your reality.
you are no longer the same as you were before.
you have learned what it is to truly cherish something.

only do this for rare objects and important people.
it is too significant to do casually.
