Hands burned smooth

I offer you my hand,

 one with no lines.

Past has made its mark,

 and will continue.

Knowing this,

 I will still reach.

Showing an open hand.

Hurt, yet healed. I think this is what it means to be human. To reach out.

All we can do.

no lines...no stand, no right or wrong or preconceptions---no prejudice...just an open hand to embrace another.

i have a few burn marks. the skin is so smooth over the scars. i often run my fingers along my scars. it feels good, in a way

This is a time of the year where many of my cooking scars start to show. Smoothest touch is my fingertips. Those have burned for a few decades!

i guess you must have quite a few being a cook...

More burns than cuts
