A Hand Sandwich

If I had my way,

what would I do?

In this unaccustomed medium

of off-again, on-again thought,

I focus not on the message

(whatever that might have been)

but on the method.

 

Do I change hands here? Is this the time?

No, wait.

Bring some thought to this!

I stay with the pen so it will carry me off

to find the answer.

 

The question, again?

 

Here: if I had my way, what would I do?

 

Would I take your hand

in both of mine and say nothing,

do nothing but be with you?

Hands sandwiched just so.

Words set aside. Experiencing the glow of us.

 

I can take it bigger—outside, so to speak.

Now what would I do?

Does it GET bigger than a sandwich of hands?

 

Oh. Good question.

If we all sandwiched hands every day,

the world would change.

A friend recommends a daily full hug—

a one- or two- or three-minute hug.

For everyone. Hug. Breathe. Keep hugging.

 

Goodness gracious me!

Goodness.

Grace.

Good grace and blessings to us all.

Every one.
