Conduit
Prayer from the hands
Make a conduit with your hands
Make them round
You are a conduit this way
The circle round
Wheel within the wheel
When you’re round you can support
As in if you fall
I will support you
Supporting the fallen
This is G*d and all of us
The circle of spiritual aspiration to comfort
You can be nouns in relation to other nouns
The connection of nouns
What you belong to
Hello nouns we belong to each other
You may get to be a door
A door that opens onto
Skill and enthusiasm artful and
Healing
You may get to be a connection through the hands
Giving over substance one vessel to another
When once the chain had been broken
Again look through the circle of your hands
Receive through it the interrupted connection
What you got
What you give
Let your hands be a conduit for repair
Growth and skill
Passing through your welcoming hands
Be a student all your life
Get a good teacher
Be a good teacher
