As an instrumentalist, my greatest fear-and one I choose to not dwell on-is the loss of my hands. With that would go my career. But I never really thought how hands have structured society, not only by crafting and creating but connecting individuals. And how important touch is to babies. Thanks for sharing, your way of writing is just stunning.

What a beautiful way of describing the importance of our hands. Our mum's hands cooking, crocheting and gently touching our forehead before going to sleep are masssive imprinted in my found memories. Great article 👏 ❤️
