Proximity-“from Middle French proximité "nearness" (14c.), from Latin proximitatem (nominative proximitas) "nearness, vicinity," from proximus "nearest, next; most direct; adjoining," figuratively "latest, most recent; next, following; most faithful," superlative of prope "near"”
A word that keeps returning so I thought I’d stick it here. Thinking about the closeness between bodies- how with the presence of some particular people can make your skin hum just being near them- becoming electrictrified in their presence. And contrastingly how you can be far from someone and feel them near/ all around you- a connection felt as if touching through planes of consciousness.
