          Could you be




          music?




          You cannot touch me, but I can touch you.




          We can’t physically touch a piece of music as it’s being played, but music can touch us emotionally.




          I can’t hear you, but you can hear me.




          Of course, music doesn’t have ears, but we do.




          I can't follow you, but you can follow me.




          Musical pieces have very, very, very bad short term and long term memories, in contrast to our (somewhat) better neurological functions, which allow us to, among other things, follow a piece of music.

          Time,




          Touch




          1.We cannot touch it but , it can touch(certainly affect our actions) us.




          Hear




          2.Time cannot hear us , but we can certainly hear Clock(Clock represents Time in this context) ticking.




          Follow




          3.Time never follow us , but we should follow our Schedule(Schedule represents Time in this context).

          Another possibility:




          Wind




          You cannot touch me, but I can touch you.




          You can feel the icy touch of the winter wind, but you cannot touch it.




          I can’t hear you, but you can hear me.




          The wind has no ears, but you can often hear it.




          I can't follow you, but you can follow me.




          "Follow the wind, my boy! See where it takes you!" I mean, it's metaphorical, but it works.

          The Law. Figuratively, the long arm of the law can reach/touch anyone but the opposite is beyond even comprehension.




          I cant hear you, but you can hear me.




          Perhaps, hearing here refers to getting to know the law.




          I can't follow you, but you can follow me.




          Individuals can (actually must) follow the law. Again, the law can't (and doesn't need to) follow anyone.

            One can argue that legislators can touch it. They can retouch it (amend) and they can do the finishing touches (review and edit drafts for voting) on it. I don't think your answer holds.

          A Story




          You cannot touch me, but I can touch you.




          Stories can certainly be touching. A book can be touched, but the story is not material so can't itself be touched.




          I can’t hear you, but you can hear me.




          Stories can be told or read out loud. A story cannot hear the listener




          I can't follow you, but you can follow me.




          I can follow a story, but it can't follow me.

            Another possibility:




            Wind




            You cannot touch me, but I can touch you.




            You can feel the icy touch of the winter wind, but you cannot touch it.




            I can’t hear you, but you can hear me.




            The wind has no ears, but you can often hear it.




            I can't follow you, but you can follow me.




            "Follow the wind, my boy! See where it takes you!" I mean, it's metaphorical, but it works.

              One can argue that legislators can touch it. They can retouch it (amend) and they can do the finishing touches (review and edit drafts for voting) on it. I don't think your answer holds.

            A Story




            You cannot touch me, but I can touch you.




            Stories can certainly be touching. A book can be touched, but the story is not material so can't itself be touched.




            I can’t hear you, but you can hear me.




            Stories can be told or read out loud. A story cannot hear the listener




            I can't follow you, but you can follow me.




            I can follow a story, but it can't follow me.

Foto: Axel Lindahl Bunad frå Eggedal i Buskerud fotografert i 1906. Bunad (frå kledebunad , der norrønt «búnaðr» har same rot som (føre)bu) er ei samnemning brukt om klesdrakter i tradisjonell nordisk stil — ofte utvikla frå folkedrakter, men likevel i ein eigen tradisjon. Ein bunad er typisk ei forseggjort og kostbar drakt, med mykje broderi, og med handsmidde smykke i gull eller sølv, særleg dei særeigne søljene, som obligatorisk prynad i tillegg. Bunad og bunadbruk er eit debattemne med mange ulike oppfatningar, til dømes om kva som er ein bunad, og om ein kan endra på utforminga av draktene eller ikkje. Den norske bunadrørsla går tilbake til folkedansrørsla og føregangsfolk som Hulda Garborg og Klara Semb. I dag blir bunad brukt som nasjonaldrakt. Festbunad er likestilt med galla-antrekk, og ofte nytta ved særskilde høve, som konfirmasjonar eller d

Grani í vetrarfeldi. Færeyski hesturinn (færeyska: Føroyska rossið ) er hestur sem hefur lifað í Færeyjum í hundruði ára. Hann er smágerður, 120-132 cm á hæð, og helst skyldur hjaltlandshestinum. Hlutverk hans var að draga vagna og plóg og bera klyfjar. Hann hefur fjórar gangtegundir eins og íslenski hesturinn (þar með talið tölt) og er með fjölda litaafbrigði. Nú til dags er hann notaður til frístunda. Í lok 19. aldar voru til um 800 hross. Mörg þeirra voru seld til Bretlands til að vinna í kolanámum og um 1960 voru aðeins nokkrir hestar eftir.
