On Reading Palms by Peggy Thomson
Look at your hands - right hand, left hand, front and back. Useful things, hands. Useful for carrying packages, tuning a carburetor, pulling a sled or petting a pup. Your fingers tell you if something is smooth or prickly, gooey or rough. Look some more at your hands. At the strong lines that cut across your palms. At the web of fine, wavy lines - close together - that cover your skin from your wrists to your fingertips. Look at them and think: Is there a mystery about them? Are hands mysterious as well as marvellous? Do they have a tale to tell?
