Open your right hand and hold it in front of you, palm facing upwards… notice the lines that go across, choose one but don’t allow your attention to lose focus upon the others. Whilst concentrating on your chosen line, notice if anything changes with it, or any of the others; the line may embed itself further into your palm… or it may expand and reach around the top and bottom of your hand… or it may work with another line and create something as you watch. Rather than the line doing something now see if the space (skin) between the lines takes shape… you may see a flower or an animal (as I was writing this, a llama appeared to me, its long neck reaching up from its shoulders at the bottom of my palm, up to its head, which was looking directly at me, level with my middle finger… I could clearly see its wool). Keep watching… do the other lines create something… a scene in the background, perhaps, or something totally unrelated – from the base of my thumb I saw the sun’s rays beaming down on my llama. I then watched as my scene filled with colour, mostly reds, I’ll admit, but the more I looked, greens and blues began to show through. It doesn’t take much to fire one’s imagination, but stories can be found absolutely anywhere… even in the palm of your hand if you look close enough.
