Fingers and Hands

Imagine moving your hand/hands in the pattern of a jellyfish
or imagine grasping the shape of a hand-sized bell;
over and over,
focusing only on that move
while on your back
or your side
or lying on your front
sitting
or standing
or walking
for 5-6 hours
contemplating
sensing
feeling the movements around that movement
the lengthening of the fingers
reaching
but not touching each other
curving around an imagined shape
sensing the bend of the wrist
the movement around the elbow
soft
fluid
pulsing
like a breath,
all day
rolling from one position to another
with focus on your hand/hands
completing
and repeating
only that movement.
