Counted on both hands used to sieve sands guide threads through needle eyes point to the accused for juries to fry. born with needs to put them in the mouth raised to hitch for rides directed south used to groom your cousin's hair from pesty lice equipped to grasp another hand so you feel nice armed with nails that were claws they say arranged to hold together as you knelt and prayed shaped to personality of it's owner short and thick for the pragmatist. long and thin for the romanticist as we move from the tiny for the newborn size to the arthritic model covered in a glove disguise.... much can be said of these digits and their bases as much has been said of their owners and faces with nails kept short for organized souls or grown long for the careless and rebellious used to seive sands counted on both hands.

very nice, "e"... I like the way you wed the idea of fingers to deeds being an extension of ourselves. rather profound, and the flow made it go down like honey.  |

This was marvelous, one of your better appendages... certainly, nothing we would want to do without, even when the arthritis comes... for they can still be held, and still touch, showing care... Thank you Martin! |

 (smiles) Oh Martin, this is very well said, I have never gotten to study so much about the anatomy or medical science or along that field but your words always seem to teach me new things and that is why I love to read you! (sigh) This is very fascinating indeed, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!
