Hands

It is said that our eyes are the keys to our souls, but what about our hands? Our hands are more than capable of telling veritable stories of ourselves. Take for example, a farm hand who labors 18 hours daily - his hand would be covered all over with bunions and calluses, testimony of his constant company with the sickle, the hoe and the like. How about a princess? I bet her hand would be all dainty and smooth with nary a bump of extra skin. In a way, we can infer a person's life from the state of his or her hands.
Now hold your partner's or friend's hand. Feel for rough patches ( perhaps from time in the gym or canoeing), look out for the wrinkles ( too much Sun!) and conjure a palm map. The physical manifestation's of a person's life - all in his or her hands, and this is something that cannot be hidden easily. ;)

We're all dreamers in our own right.
