A beautiful post, beautiful insight into the hand as metaphor for tacit knowledge.
I've been mulling the symbolism of the hand a lot lately, abstracted from my own physical experience: decades of writing daily - longhand and typing - have begun to have their effects on the suppleness of my fingers and grasp. By necessity, I'm probing the meaning of this for practical purposes, towards sustainable function; simultaneously, it has me thinking, and appreciating, the personal signature of the hand for life, for doing, and - indeed - for knowing.
Tradition, transmission - handing down.
