The Hand
Thoughts & Reflections
The hand is the instrument of the mind.
Through the hand, the child explores.
She does not only watch her world, she reaches out and grasps it.
He takes control of his world.
She creates muscle memory.
He masters challenging skills.
His hand counts.
Her hand writes.
His brain is attaching math to more than just beads.
Her mind is exploring literacy, playing with language, syntax, penmanship.
His hand completes a map.
His mind travels the world.
The hand is the instrument of the mind.
