Why the Great Spirit made Hands

“The Great Spirit made hands before he made
eyes or feet, so people could learn to hold
one another. Hands were useful for touching
the hard ribs of trees or the soft tongues of flower petals.
Hands discovered the dry uncertainty of snakes, the
slipperiness of fish, the mystery of feathers. Hands found
Other hands and clasped together to embrace the oncoming world,
unafraid. Two pairs of hands, burned by fire and cooled
by water, felt their way along unfamiliar paths and then
reached out and found they needed one another
to make a home in the wilderness of their minds.”

-Nancy Wood
