The Age of Silence
It's not that we've forgotten the language of gestures entirely. The habit of moving our hands while we speak is left over from it. Clapping, pointing, giving the thumbs-up: all artifacts of ancient gestures. Holding hands for example, is a way to remember how it feels to say nothing altogether. And at night, when it's too dark to see, we find it necessary to gesture on each others bodies to make ourselves understood"
