Useless Factoid, History of the Handshake


The handshake dates to at least the 5th century BC in Greece.  It was a symbol of peace, showing that neither person was carrying a weapon, as depicted in the relief bove. During the Roman era, the handshake was actually more of an arm grab. It involved grabbing each other’s forearms to check that neither man had a knife hidden up his sleeve. Some say that the shaking gesture of the handshake started in Medieval Europe. Knights would shake the hand of others in an attempt to shake loose any hidden weapons.  The custom is found round the world but is losing popularity in the US, replaced increasing by the fist bump.

Notes from the Other Side

For Mikey

Notes from the Other Side
By Jane Kenyon

 I divested myself of despair
 and fear when I came here.

Now there is no more catching
one's own eye in the mirror.

There are no bad books, no plastic,
no insurance premiums, and of course

no illness. Contrition
does not exist, nor gnashing

of teeth. No one howls as the first
clod of earth hits the casket.

The poor we no longer have with us.
Our calm hearts strike only the hour,

and God, as promised, proves
to be mercy clothed in light.

I originally posted this poem back in 2015 and Mikey loved it. I am grateful for this blog because it was through it we got to know each other. My only regret is that I stopped writing after a few years and we drifted apart.
