Stories Collected While Living in France
For hands that embrace and encourage others to play,
For hearts that beat a tune that set feet a dancing,
For sparks within the soul that light the way for others,
For the days behind, and the day to come,
For the miles of open spaces, and a hand to hold in the silence of it all.
Thank you.

Oh, such beauty.
The stories those hands hold, the stories.
One word, magic : ) Not as in occult stuff but TRUE magic, heart magic. So beautiful : )
Paix,
Wendy
My late husband Robbie used to sing this song to me always.
And so today my world it smiles
Your hand in mine we walk the miles………
I love hands and faces and the stories they have to tell us.
I love you!
Hands clapping for you always
my beautiful friend.
Bravo!
I love all that you share.
Love Jeanne
I like those veiny hands.
They look nice.
I LOVE photos of hands. My favorite is my own Mum holding my (then) baby daughter’s hands….all those wonderful wrinkles of experience and the perfect soft baby hands of innocence….
What a nice picture Corey! Is your hand in there?
Lovely hands, wonderful friends, lucky you-

Pretty pretty, shiny shiny.
What a lovely combo!
very special, magical! looks and sounds like pure fun! hope to see some more of the dressing up in a future post.
Was I asked to hold out my hand there, I would have spoiled the picture with … my bitten nails!
OR I would have borrowed that nice crochetted glove from its owner… UNLESS…
what a precious photo….would look great in a girly powder room.
Simply wonderful!!!
I love this picture. Love it, love it, love it, love it.
Love you too 🙂
lovely and such strength!

Hands speak a language of their own…don’t they?
Love the photo!
I just had a wonderful idea…take a “hand generation picture” of my mom and daughters and my granddaughters…and of course me!
Hi Corey:
Totally “touching” photograph. I love the lady’s hand in the lower right corner!!!
Take peace

Truly, this is my favorite photo from an amazing weekend! Crowns of joy -held gently in so many creative hands…!
Across the miles I reach in and join hands with all of you.
This photo certainly did make me weep (happy tears). I have had a little ailment this summer that has prevented me from using my hands (VERY discouraging to me), and seeing this joyous photo and reading your beautiful text is rather healing to me! Thank you, Corey! hugs
holding hands
and
spinning gleefully
under the stars
in the moonlight
swirling skirts
ablaze with
jewels reflecting…
a gathering…

Oh for the threads you weave…
for the sparks you ignite…
I give thanks for your sweet spirit, Corey…
I’d recognize that hand in a line-up. Front and center with the green stone.
Corey,
You always think of the best ideas, photos and poetry.
Love the hands!

To soothe a fevered brow, to wipe a tear, to applaud accomplishments…
Each hand is as
individual and unique as it’s owner.
And here, the hands of friendship.
Corey, you are blessed..

A beautiful, thoughtful and caring post.
So many wonderful hands have touched my life.

I feel that I am being lifted, being kept above water by those strong gentle hands. you are always there when I need a friendly helping hand.
Lovely hands…all so unique and individual.
This may be the most beautiful post yet – there is something about hands, they express and do so much…touching, holding, harvesting, cooking, healing, mending, waving…
Lovely, Corey! xo
…and…we are never, ever alone.

Oh my, Oh my Oh my! That is all I can say when catching up with all of the fun I have missed…Your godmother, friends, and kindred spirits.. hands… Oh, lovely…
What a lovely picture, and lovely thought! Hands are certainly the eyes to the heart, I believe. These hands tell so many stories, I wish I could have been there to share in some of them! You are a ‘grand’ lady Ms. Corey!
Beautiful hands to create friendships with!!
Lovely photograph…all the gentle and creative hands…it gives me so much joy to read about and see the photos from your magical time together.
The crown rings are wonderful…did everyone have one?
It made me run to my jewelry box and take out the garnet crown ring, that my parents gave me when I was 23 years old…sadly it is too small for me as I used to wear it on the the little finger of a very skinny hand…I think I will take it to the jewlers…I feel a need to wear it again.
Corey, what a beautiful photograph! Hands of great beauty. Your artistry with photos and words never ceases to amaze me.
These hands of love and life…
am catching up on the many wonders here in the past couple of days..simply a feast!!
…those hands….
…think, for a moment how many lives, collectively, they have reached out to…
…this made me close my eyes and remember my Mom’s hands.
