HANDS

The part of your body at the end of each arm that you use for picking up and holding things. It’s the prehensile part of the upper limb in humans and other primates, consisting of the wrist, metacarpal area, fingers, and thumb. 


Men, women and children all can say they have at least one thing in common: hands; a part of the body used more than other parts of our body. You would use your hands to pick up an object, touch your feet, clap – to show a feeling of enjoyment – or even holding your forehead – showing a sign of emotion. Hands help us to communicate, create and feel almost everything we do.


Each person has twenty seven bones in their hand. Our hands, no matter what nationality or age, usually have four fingers and one thumb attached to your wrist. We all have knuckles, finger nails and lines in the palm of our hand called ‘palmar flexion creases’. In many obvious ways you can tell how we share similarities. Yet, hands are so unique in their own intricate way.


Those very hands that we are born with and are similar have noticeable differences as well. Such as size, long or short nails, fat or narrow fingers … They all have different ‘palmar flexion creases’ and most intriguing we all have different finger prints. It's so interesting to know that before we are born these patterns are being created before we are conceived. 

Although we all have hands, our creative talents are different. Some can play instruments, draw, heal others, build, write … the list is unlimited. What looks to be the same can be very different in so many ways.

                       Beauty is in the eye of the beholder 

 

"beauty is the baught by judgement of the eye" William Shakespare in "Love's Labours Lost (c.1954)

     All things around us are creations.  All these creations have a beautiful and interesting story.  The story told will always be through the eyes of its beholder.
  1.      Most people believe that beauty is a standard form of something, for example tall, pretty or handsome with a slim build.  Some peoples perceptions usually define a standard image we follow as beauty in our society. 

                    "Beauty can not be judged objectively,
for what one person finds beautiful or admirable may not appeal to another."

     Beauty is a feeling you get in your heart when you admire something and can visualize all its natural attributes. A perfect example would be when it rains. If you think about it, what or even how do you feel when it rains? I believe that most people feel lazy and dread the rain falling. It slows down your day of planned errands and is very wet..On the other hand rain could bring great joy. when it comes their are those who like to dress for the weather, or even use your tote you got for the holidays.
     Rain to me was yucky and I never went outside when it rained.  I never dressed for that kind of weather. I felt rain was the worst of inclement weather.  One day I had to work in the rain because my field required rain, sleet, or snow. After dressing properly and wearing a hard hat for the weather I was well protected and kept dry. The rain that I found to be so yucky and wet was a mere thought of the past. The rain mad me feel peaceful. The world felt so still and quite-as though everyone was still asleep or frozen.
     When the rain hits your umbrella or the brim of a hat, it brings a desired sound of a fire crackling from a warm and cozy fire place. I love the rain now because of this beauty I encountered. I love how it makes people walk closer because their sharing an umbrella. I'm happy to behold a better vision of mother Nature.
