† I met, a person, who I will say goes by the pseudo-nym of Mr. Krishna,
With a jaunty bounce in his walk, almost like a wood pegged, legged pirate, just off an voyage and off the plank/gangway, Mr. Krishna, (different from the one from the one in the soundbyte on Soundcloud), taught me that each finger has different, symbolic meaning from an Indian, and perhaps a more (Panta-panther-gonian Pangaean), individualistic, perspective.
Each, finger on the hand is symbolic.
As a metaphor/5, and allegorically...
The thumb says, “Without me, you will not be able to hold anything.”
The index finger says. “Without me, you will not be able to point at things.”
The middle finger says. ”I am the tallest of them all.”
The ring finger says, “I have the pathway to the he-earth.”
The last finger says, “When I pray, it is me who faces the unfathomable.”
