Hi Jannie.
Thanks! If I could have been born with pockets, I’d probably have had a pen in them. :-)

Hi Robin.
Thank you. I agree, hands are expressive. They appear to take on a life all their own sometimes. It’s neat how some memories stand out above the rest isn’t it? I remember one art teacher had us write with a fountain pen in an art class, to experiment with calligraphy. I can’t remember if it was messy or not.

Hi Carla.
Thanks! Manicures are a real treat. Sure, a person can do their own nails, but it is so much better to be pampered :-)

Hi Liara.
We really are so much more than meets the eye aren’t we? From reading your comment I’m getting the idea that hands can act like an antennae or a receiver of some sort — this is fascinating. And, I love your butterfly analogy.

Davina, hands take form and shape based on your perception and experience at a given moment. You decide what to highlight or repress and forget. What you choose to believe evolves into your life. Whether you grasp that in your hand or set it free like a butterfly, is up to you. Liara Covert’s last blog post..25 Ways to stimulate consciousness

That was beautiful! With my hands, I use them to express myself either using a keyboard or pen and paper. Carefully cutting veggies for a salad, washing my face at the end of the day and other tasks that I eagerly look forward to. The reward for my hard working hands is a good washing using simple soap and water and then slathering them with lotion. Occasionally a manicure at a local spa is a nice bonus.
