Tools in the sunshine
I caught a glimpse of my tools in the sunshine. They’re all me. I watched them, so full of joy and happiness. They wait for hands while I figure out what to do next.
In a rush I reach out and grasp tight – thankful, so very thankful, I’m not isolated from them.

Thanks Jennifer, I used to work in neuro-rehab and it has long been recognised that the brain becomes used to tools as an extension of the hands after a time. You put it more poetically but there’s a readable article on the subject here https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/you-are-what-you-touch/
Keep up the posts, they’re even more a pleasant distraction in these times.
A very fascinating subject, and interesting read, thankyou for the link. It is so encouraging that the brain is so adaptable! Hope all is well with you.
