“In a culture that privileges the analytic and the abstract, the lens of reason most of all, Lillian Moats, never denying the power of intellect, has the courage to follow the emotional and intuitive toward insight and revelation. In Speak, Hands, she shows us the incalculable value of the journey – stretching, plunging into the unknown, pulling ourselves forward – as she illuminates the wisdom of the body, the power of the hands, whose only rule is to reach.”
