Your Hands
by Carrie Hart

See your hand. See how it stretches out to another

in greeting and friendship, a symbol of openness,

integrity and welcome. See how it seals a pledge,

a promise of truth and loyalty. See how it soothes

in comfort, compassion and love. See how it

excites passion. See how it heals with its touch.

See hands of different colors, different sizes,

different ages. See them all reaching across

and clasping each other in peace and love.

See them dance and speak. See hands held

between lovers as they walk or stretched

across the table in deep conversation.

See hands drawing beauty, painting colors.

See hands forming the clay and freeing the statue

within the marble. See hands writing words of

deep wisdom, joy and peace. See the hand

that writes a love letter and wipes away a tear.

See the aging hand writing a will. See the

hand of power signing an alliance.

See the hand as it presents a rose to another.

See the hands that hold the newborn infant,

its own hands like little flowers of promise.

See calloused hands with nail and hammer,

building a home.

Today, celebrate your hands. Feel the energy

of your body moving into your hands. Feel how

your heart, with all of its love, can flow into your hands.

Feel how your true integrity flows there easily.

Today, see your own hands for the wonders

that they are, whether they are young and fresh

as springtime or covered with the marks of wisdom

and experience. See them for the wonders that they

are and take this pledge: that your hands shall be

filled with love and healing, truth and loyalty, and that

you shall use them to build a world of peace and beauty.

Let your deep truth resonate within you, shining out

more brightly than any other light, and then let this light

fill your hands, so that the actions you perform,

the pledges you make, the love you express,

the art you create, shall all flow directly from your

heart and soul, into your hands and out into the world.

Love & Light,
