 my hands are my ancestors 

carrying the wisdom of generations past 

channeling stories of place

mysteries of the unseen into material form

​

they move like water

nourishing what they touch

cultivating life and care 

​

they commune with the wind

playing melodies into the breeze

whispered into the expansiveness of all that is 

​

they bring fire into being

alchemizing flames

transmitting warmth 

​

they spread seeds, germinate new life

harvest bounties and share the abundance of the earth
