Listen "Lessons from my Left Hand"
Episode Synopsis
We all know that the body is made up of different members. Members one of another. The hand needs the foot. The eye needs the ear. But even more profound than these examples is the uncommon humility that my non-dominate left hand has with my dominate right. Similar in frame and made to do everything the right hand can… it performs well, but not as well. Yet it serves my body selflessly and without dissention. In this podcast we will listen and learn from our non-dominate hands a lesson on cooperation and being a member one of another. An Imagined Interview with my Left Hand: Me: When did you learn that I was going to be what they call "right-handed?" Left-hand: I learned this early. I noticed you were using the right hand to lead and do the more sensitive tasks. Me: Do you compare yourself with the right? Left-hand: I don't. My right hand does his job so well, and I'm glad. I do my job well. Me: What do you understand your job to be? Left-hand: My job is to be a good left-hand complement to the right-hand. Me: How do you understand your relationship to be with the right-hand? Left-hand: I don't see myself separate from my right-hand. We are of the same body. Everything we do separately or together comes from you and is for you. You get the credit for anything we do, and you should. Me: Do you get jealous of the right hand? Left-hand: No, not at all. I know you are pleased with me and that's all that matters.
