old indian compressed woman
leaving a handprint

earth wisdom
embodied wisdom
teaches by being

handmark
evidence of presence
a blessing or claim
i was here but gently
protection
blessing
transmission
approval

quiet sacredness
twilight wisdom not daylight teaching

wisdom that is transmitted through care
touch
presence
rather than authority or insight

you dont take knowledge
you are touched by it
it leaves a mark without demanding recognition

often appears when
reaey to integrate gentleness after power
strength must be softened to become sustainable
path shifts from guardianship to nurturing

power is real only if it can bless
