"Grandma, how do you deal with pain?"
"With your hands, dear. When you do it with your mind, the pain hardens even 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 anymore to show it."
"Are hands really that important?"
"Yes, my girl. Think of babies: they get to know the world thanks to their touch. When you look at the hands of older people, they tell you more about their lives than any other part of the body. Everything that is made by hand, so it is said, is made with the heart because hands and heart are connected. Healers know this - when they touch another person's body with their hands, they create a deep connection. Think of lovers - when their hands touch, they love each other in the most sublime way."
"My hands, grandma ... how long is it since I used them like that?"
"Move them my girl. Start by creating with them and everything in you will move. The pain will not pass away. But it will be the best masterpiece. It won't hurt anymore because you managed to embroider your essence."
