I made a collection of small leather bound journals for our recent Art Chics sale. The simple efforts of folding and tearing paper, cutting and stitching leather, tracing line, and threading needle; were each a healing action, a sacrament to the holiness of hands. I feel awe and gratitude for the many delicate and intricate things hands can do. Their complex motion (each finger moving and tensing seperately) and their finely calibrated sensitivity (from lightly brushing a moth wing to grasping and bending a metal rod) astound me. How lucky are we to have two of them!? Two mighty and responsive hands!
