tell stories, produce art and music, show confidence or fear, be graceful and
firm, and reveal our thoughts.
I may be more apt to remember if someone I've met has nicely manicured and well tended hands. I may not remember exactly what they are wearing but I will remember if their fingernails are painted orange and purple.
At some point, when obviously I wasn’t paying attention, my
grandchildren’s hands went from this
