The language of the hands

to be heard or to be seen

which is superior?

i posit they are the same

 

What need is there of a voice when hands are quite capable?

a language of the hands lives among us

a language long subdued by "profesionals"

a language of the hands "subpar" to a voice and ears

a language of the hands "cannot be intelligent"

those who speak a language of the hands must be "fixed"

 

the only thing in need of fixing is ignorance

ingorance of the beautiful language of the hands

the language woven on the fingertips of master storytellers

the language worn on the body in full form of expression

the language that binds a close community

the only thing that this language isn't, is heard

 

the language of the hands
