Hands Unfolded

Check out this morning's short Story Corps interview between a young boy and his father:

When the little fourth grader interviews his dad, he asks him, "What are your dreams for me?"
and the father replies: "My dream is for you to live out your dreams. There's an old proverb that talks about when children are born, children come out with their fists closed because that's where they keep all their gifts. And as you grow, your hands learn to unfold, because you're learning to release your gifts to the world.

"And so, for the rest of your life, I wanna see you live with your hands unfolded."
