I wonder if there is any relationship with the hands and work. When I say work, I mean work in the most general sense. I sort of see the work that is done with the hands to be of a transformative nature. For example, when someone is cooking, they are trying to transform what is potentiated into what is actual. The same thing happens when someone is doing work for a job. A computer programmer has in mind a design for a website, and his hands make it happen. I see the work of the hands as magical when I think of them this way. Magic which is obviously action.
