What a hand can hold





My hand can hold so many things. My fingers grip and tighten. Muscles tense and then relax. From holding natures wonders to holding a darling little necklace made by Robin and the Sage. Check out her etsy store she has all kinds of delightful creations. I find that I use my hands to help define my world. To hold something in your hands makes that object a precious thing, it becomes alive. The world becomes a more vibrant place with touch. Love becomes so much more love when one is held. My heart so much more open and giving when held by someone I trust. Tonight I will hold someone I love close to me.

  6. That necklace. I really like the way Delila worked in snippets of lace, and then did the stitch over on the blues. The brown beads are perfect and look like fall berries.
    so lovely
