Hand-walkers | A 100 Word Story

#844 - 12 Justice | The Banned Books Tarot

Sitting by a crackling fire children listened to Momma Bodhi’s Tale of the Hand-walkers.

“In a land far, far away, where neither birds of the sky nor beasts of the earth dare tread, lived people who used their hands as legs.

They believed their feet were meant for more than walking. Instead, they exercised and perfected the art of balance. But most of all, they defeated any enemy who tried to conquer them.”

“What happened to hand-walkers, Momma Bodhi?”

“If you look to the mountains during a full moon you will see shadows of their feet dancing under the moonlight.”
