Alison Sudol Instagram – To me, the hand is the most intimate part of the body. The sensitivity of the fingertips. The way you can feel someone’s heart beat under your palm. Skin stretched thinly over 27 bones. They speak volumes about a person without words. Soft petal never-worked hands, callused hands that have never stopped, hands cracked by wind and sun, hands with dirt under the nails from gardening, from fixing cars, from sadness, hands that stroke their love’s cheek like a petal, hands that hold babies, hands that push you against a wall and touch without listening, without asking. Hands that give, hands that take. There was a long stretch of my life where I wouldn’t let anyone hold mine. Not wouldn’t. Couldn’t. My hands are full now. My heart is fuller. It hasn’t always been this way, but now I know what I have.
