Human Hands

This morning, I was listening to a song which was Human Hands by Sondre Lerche while watering my plants. It was not the first time I heard the song. I even have Sondre Lerche's songs playlist on my Spotify, which shows how I really love his music, include this one. I try singing it while a thought suddenly popped up in my mind. I think passion probably doesn't always about loving one or two specific objects. For instance, people may say that their passion is art as they love to paint, to sing, or to dance. I think in my case, passion could be like loving the process, which means it probably relates to some objects and in different aspects, for example not only art but also sport. In my case, I think my passion is doing something that using my hands in process of doing it. 

I have always been someone who has a big curiosity. I am always willing to learn something new, randomly. I tend to add new various skills that may useful for me. I learn to cook, I learn to bake, I learn to play the ukulele, I learn to play piano, I learn to sing, I learn to drive, I learn about stock, I learn new languages and the list goes on. But, I realize that I love doing something with my hand. I love cooking, I love writing, I love knitting, I love painting, I love gardening, I love playing piano and ukulele. For all of that, I love learning to sharpen my skills without feeling a burden at all, continuously. If love like that similar to passion, that's mine. 

To find ourselves is indeed an endless journey as time changes and moves, so do we. Furthermore, to find a little piece of ourselves helps us (or me, in this case) be more objective and open-minded. And realizing that we have so much potential in ourselves is a blessing. It's just the human hands that we talk about, in creating so many things. What if we use all of our five senses plus other body organs, imagine how powerful we will, what will we become and create by all of these God's gifts? Masya Allah :)

by the way, you can listen to the song here while reading this post, enjoy.
