I am an avid people watcher. This is different from the voyeuristic person watcher, because I like to watch people in groups and not hiding in bushes when they're not looking. Just wanted to clear that up.
There is something about hands that make me take notice of the person they're attached to. Some people talk with their hands or fidget when they want to say something. I tend to shove my hands in my pockets in group settings out of nervousness. Everyone's hands are different just like our fingerprints, and not just how they look but how you use them.
Make a salad
Make a friend
Make a living
Most of the actions I associate with hands are creative and tender. Hands can be distorted into fists for violent acts or covered with gloves to protect from pain or cold, but the naked hand is something delicate and complex like creation itself.

Now I'm going to be really self conscious talking to you.
As usual, a good post full of insight and wisdom.
Pete and I used to watch people's off hands when they would cook at the grill at Hardee's. It's crazy what people do with their hands when they're not thinking about it.
