The Hand That Caresses

… in the midst of my trials and tribulations, my face was truly troubled, my heart was afraid, my being was shaken, I lied straight with my face turned up, in a very brief moment of silence, I noticed a warmth around the back of one of my hands, it was a very gentle, warm reassuring caress, comforting indeed it was! My two hands were clasped between my legs, in my moment of pain I couldn’t help but wonder who knew what I was going through and could reach me. I was alone, that much I knew, so I was puzzled. I decided to look down and one hand was clasped into the other and the outer hand had one of it’s finger caressing the inner hand , with the rest of the fingers cupped like a supportive hammock. In that moment my heartbeat started to calm as I was soothed into a gentle doze.

Our support and comfort is much nearer that we know and understand.
