To left and right,

to  the shared balance of power between you,

to the openness as you extend

your palms in a welcoming greeting,

I bow.

To these ten fingers,

to left and right,

to the clapping and meeting as you salute others in peace,

recognizing the presence of each divine soul,

Namaste.

To hands that work and play,

caress and touch,

create and craft,

paint and sculpt,

rest and exercise,

I bow.

Thank you for your strength and presence,

your grace and beauty.

Your ability to grasp and let go,

welcome and invite,

be and do,

I bow.
