Hands vs Legs

Hello,

It is a great opportunity coming your way again. I hope I am neither boring you or clogging your mailbox weekly?

 Let's see things from the perspective of a baby this week.


The hands are appended to the shoulders, the wrist adorned with watches, bracklets, bangles and all sorts. The fingers with wedding bands and other decorative rings according to the discretion of each individual.

  The legs is the source of movement for other parts of the body. The legs hinged on the waist, sometimes adorned with anklet by women, some toe-rings that is believed to be a charm however it is now fashionable. It is the source of livelihood for footballers.

The lesson of today, in the development of a baby, from the first day on earth, a baby would be carried. The baby seeks support by extending his hands to someone. The baby wants and gets support, care and security via his hands. A Yoruba adage supports this by saying, it's a child that stretch forward his hands that is carried, "Omo to ba sipa ni a gbe" The leg is the last part of a baby's body that gets strengthened. The timing varies from seven months to two years in some extreme cases. The baby does not learn taking to his or her heels early.

Let's learn to hold tight, to care, to seek security in the hands of our loved ones. Let's learn to stay close and not always take to our heels. Taking to our heels damages our relationship, it does not help to resolve issues and in fact, deepens issues.

  Please lend a helping hand, please be a shoulder to cry on.

Please do not walk out of this relationship & do not walk out of my life.

Enjoy the week.

Cheers!
