Your piece (which I enjoyed, thank you) brought two thoughts to mind. Firstly, my father was an artist and he told me that hands were the most difficult thing to draw. I remember he would take pictures of our hands in different positions when he needed to draw someone’s hands. Why would a hand be more difficult than an eye? I would think a nose would be even more difficult. But maybe it is difficult because it has to capture the essence of the persons intent in their gestures not just the physical structure.
Secondly, not biting the hand that feeds you requires you to admit you are being fed at the hand of ‘someone’ and to stop and think, not about which hand is the one feeding you, but just how many hands are candidates. How many people are involved in you being fed, how many hands to have hakoros hatov to.
Thanks for the inspirational thoughts!
