my hands are my altar
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
when i was young, my wise mother curated this series of photos capturing the hands of three generations: my grandmother, my mother, my sister and myself
