This is an experiment in blogging motivation from the folks at WordPress.com. Every week, they post blogging ideas and tips to help you get the most out of the blog. This week’s photo challenge from WordPress is Hands. These first images bring back memories from joining our hands and our lives… our hands look even older today, than they looked that day, back in Albuquerque, NM… but they’re still next to each other – we’re aging together, traveling working, touching, caring, holding other hands… together.
“Hands can be instrumental in a photo – they emphasis, they hide, they reveal. They can be the star of the show, or just a prop to help the main attraction stand out better”.
This last picture displays one of the ‘results’ of the union shown before: believing that the upcoming generations would be responsible for the difference. They’re more aware of their surroundings, they understand the need for change, and know how to use their minds and their hands for a better future… 4-yr-old ballet students show that it’s possible to make a difference, if everyone knew how to ‘give a hand’ to others, building a fair and committed society…
Holding hands in search for an equal and peaceful future…
Greetings from (currently!) Brazil!
