I. Two hands, extended upwards towards the heavens.
How could this be?
II. Two hands, palms up.
One judging the weight of reality. This is serious, and none of us is immune.
The other full of hope. We shall survive, as we are able.
III. Two hands, together.
Namaste. I honor you.
My patient. My friend.
My prayer.
