On Hands and Knees
Today’s two treasures are hands and knees. Let’s start with knees. I’ve two!
Today, finally, for the first time in years, I find them both fully functional.
It’s partly because my body weight is down, so neither knee has as much weight to support. For years, I’ve had a cane. My knees “almost worked”, allowing me to walk, sometimes jog, for decades — but clicking and popping. Really popping. Who needs ACLs anyway? Pfffft.
Today I celebrate nimbleness! I can again imitate a flamingo on either leg. Something I’ve not done since I was sixteen or seventeen, imitating the ninjas.
It’s one thing to be “bipedal”, another entirely to be able to balance uni-pedally on either leg. At all, much less comfortably.
Hands are today’s second treasures.
They fly over the keyboard as I write these words. One handles some keys, the other handles the other keys. Magically, they dance together.
Own your hands, dear reader. Find within you the same thing which I found — that my left hand and my right hand also can dance and type. Each alone.
That’s three separate ways to “write” — bi-handedly, left-handedly, and right-handedly. Explore giving each hand a separate keyboard. See how that feels.
Own your hands, dear reader. Teach each to type, alone. It works! Try it!
Today’s Two Treasures are hands and knees. Both are yours. 🤜🤛
