Grandma , how do you deal with pain ? '
'With your hands dear . When you do it with your mind , the pain hardens more ' .
' With your hands , Grandma ? '
' Yes , yes . Our hands are the antennas of our soul .
When you move them by sewing , cooking , painting , touching the earth or sinking them into the earth , they send signals of caring to the deepest part of you and your soul calms down . This way she doesn't have to send pain any more to show it .'
'Are hands really that important ? '
'Yes, my girl . Think of babies , they get to know the world thanks to their touches . When you look at the hands of older people they tell more about their lives than any other part of the body . Everything that is made by hand , so is said , is made with the heart because it really is like this ; hands and heart are connected . Masseuses know this : when they touch another person's body with their hands , they create deep connection . Think of lovers , when their hands touch , they love each other in the most sublime way .'
' My hands , Grandma ...how long haven't I used them like that ? '
' Move them my girl , start creating with them and everything in you will move . The pain will not pass away , but it will be the best masterpiece . And it won't hurt anymore . Because you managed to embroider your essence ...'
