Somewhere in my "stuff" from my working days I have a piece, (reflection) on HANDS. I will see if I can dig it up, (find it,) make a copy and send your way.
Please don't hold your breath. At this point I am not sure where to start looking. SMILE
WHAT A WONDERFUL TREASURE YOU HAVE IN YOUR OLDER SISTER. I ALWAYS WANTED A SISTER BUT GOT 2 BROTHERS INSTEAD. MARCY SOUNDS SO GREAT,WISH WE LIVED CLOSER SO I COULD BORROW HER SOME TIME !!! BLESSINGS MARILYN
Those are some mighty big, beautiful hands you describe there my friend. You know it took a great set to write that too, don't ya?! :) Jules @ Trying To Get Over The Rainbow
It is always a delight to meet someone so comfortable with being alive and melding into the whole world whether of her own kind or every other living creature. When I was small I had an aunt too like this. Great post.
What a wonderful commentary on your world and your sister!

[Image]A picture taken by accident is my inspiration. This is my oldest sister's hand, while working in the garden. First a child, then a teacher and now retired. She is our teacher, our matriarch and our treasure. Marcy's hands hold the camera.
[Image]It is these hands that preserve our food,[Image]and shell the peas.[Image]These hands spoil my grandchildren,[Image]encourage them to explore, [Image]and make them smile.[Image]These hands hold a dragonflyuntil its wings dry from the rain.
They nurture us,and every creature here...Marcy's hands.

A wonderful tribute to Marcy and well deserved, I'm sure. Her hands look like they've seen a lot of life.

How beautiful is that?! I love that you love your sister and that she loves you back so much.

Women are so under appreciated in this (still) male dominated world. Women hold it all together.
