"Hands have their own language."
Simon Van Booy
Holding hands generates an unspoken language. The connection impacts us on many levels no matter how young or old we happen to be. We feel joy in having an infant wrap their tiny little hand around our finger. A bond is generated as we walk with a toddler, hands together. In addition to the intimacy of hand holding with a lover, opportunities abound.
When we are faced with horrific trauma, there is nothing like clasping hands with a sister of our heart. As parents age, it becomes natural to hold their hand in support. When we touch the face to wipe off tears or massage away a pain, it is both physical and emotional. The lightest touch can lift a sorrowful soul.
Hands that are clasped together generate a shift in energy. Whether we are in prayer or responsive clapping, a form of tenderness elevates our spirits. Whether we are extending our hand in introduction or simply giving a wave, there is recognition that touches and unites without the spoken word.
