"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Beautiful Hands

Roseanne snapped this photo of her dear mother's hands while she was napping...and I have her permission to share it with you. It brought tears to my eyes because it's so beautiful......and it triggers memories of the older women that have been in my life...and their beautiful hands. 

Think about the stories in these hands.
They've held babies and wiped tears. They've stitched on buttons....and picked flowers. There is so much wisdom and strength...in these beautiful hands.
