With Your Hands
by Elena Bernabe
Artist Credit : Claudia Tremblay
“Grandma, how do you cope with pain?”
“With your hands, honey. If you do it with your mind instead of relieving the pain, it toughens even harder.”
“With your hands grandma?”
“Yes, our hands are the antennae of our soul. If you move them; knitting, cooking, painting, playing or sinking them into the ground, you send care signs to the deepest part of you and your soul lights up because you’re paying attention to it. Then signs of pain will no longer be necessary.”
“Hands are really that important?”
“Yes my daughter. Think of babies: they start to know the world through the touch of their hands. If you look at the hands of old people, they tell you more about their life then any body part. Everything that is done by hand is said to be done with the heart. Because it’s really like this: hands and heart are connected. Masseurs know well: when they touch someone with their hands, they create a deep connection. It is precisely from this connection that healing comes. Think of lovers: when they touch their hands, they make love in a more sublime way.”
“My hands grandma.... how long I haven’t used them like this!”
“Move them, my love. Begin to create with them and everything within you will begin to move. The pain will not pass away. And instead what you do with them will become the most beautiful masterpiece and it won’t hurt anymore. Because you have been able to transform its essence.

Vegan Butternut Squash Shepherd's Pie
Source
This warm and comforting shepherd's pie uses the best ingredients fall has to offer. With butternut squash, carrots, and fresh herbs this meal will work great on your Holiday table or whenever you need something hearty.
Ingredients
- 1 Butternut Squash (large), cut in half lengthwise with seeds scooped out
- 1 cup Black Lentils
- 16 ounce Portobello Mushrooms, roughly chopped
- 4 large Carrots, chopped diagonally
- 1 Yellow Onion, diced
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced and divided
- 7 tablespoon Olive Oil, divided
- 0.25 cup Non-Dairy Milk
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic or Apple Cider Vinegar
- 3 teaspoon Salt, divided
- 2 sprigs Thyme
- 2 sprigs Sage
- 2 sprigs Rosemary
- Salt & pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- On a baking sheet, coat the open side of the squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
- Flip the squash upside down so that the skin side is facing up. This will help the squash cook faster as it will steam from the inside.
- Place the squash in the oven and roast for 50-60 minutes.
- While the squash is cooking, prepare your lentils. Cook them according to the package instructions and add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. This should take roughly 15-20 minutes. You want them to be tender, but not mushy.
- In a separate small pan, make a garlic and herb infused oil. Heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add in half of the minced garlic, and 1 sprig each of thyme, sage, and rosemary. Let cook for 2 minutes and be careful that the garlic doesn’t burn. Once done, remove the sprigs of herbs from the pan and discard. Set aside.
- Once the lentils have cooked, drain any excess water, and mix in the infused oil. Stir well and taste for seasoning. Set aside in a warm place.
- Prepare the carrot and mushroom filling. In a large stockpot or pan, heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat. Once hot add the chopped onion and carrots. Let cook for 5 minutes until onions are translucent.
- Add the mushrooms and let cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add in the remaining garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, sugar, balsamic or apple cider vinegar, and 1 sprig each of thyme, rosemary, and sage. Continue to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. Then check to see if the carrots are tender enough to your liking. If so, take off the heat and pick out the herbs. Set aside in a warm place.
- Make the whipped butternut squash topping. Scoop out the interior of the butternut squash and place in a blender. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and non-dairy milk. Blend until smooth.
- Set your oven to broil.
- Now it’s time to assemble the shepherd’s pie in a medium casserole dish! First, layer the lentils, then the mushrooms and carrots, and finally top with the whipped butternut squash.
- Place the shepherd’s pie in the oven under the broiler to crisp the top. Depending on your oven, this can take anywhere from 3-10 minutes, so watch carefully. Once it’s crisped to your liking, remove from the oven and serve!
