Extended outward, palm open to receive the exposure of light and the offered deposit of grace. The possibility of support that it imparts can only be countered and outnumbered by the infinite creases, lines, grizzled scars, and imperfections that it bears. A broadening of hope for the weary recipient. A hand up, and an acknowledgment of truth and love. The only payment due is the heartfelt utterance of please and thank you.
