Ava directs attention to the remarkable instruments we use constantly yet rarely appreciate—our hands. Through observations of a carpenter's craftsmanship and conversations with someone recovering from wrist surgery, she explores how hands connect us to the world through intricate tasks, carry our histories visibly, and enable both capability and connection. The episode examines the evolutionary marvel of hand design, the embodied knowledge in our fingertips, and the intimacy of hand-to-hand connection. With the affirmation "My hands are instruments of both capability and connection," listeners are invited to notice these remarkable tools.
