Eye of the Mountain

Language Fails
Places embodied contact beyond representation, arguing that touch can communicate a depth of recognition and repair that images and language cannot hold.
A picture is worth a thousand words
But a touch is worth a thousand pictures.
Language scales,
But only touch transforms.
Words broadcast,
But touch transmits.
A conversation is powerful,
But touch is non negotiable.
Language carries ideology,
But touch carries love.
Without the hardware of physical connection,
The software of the words is lost.
Body to body,
Humanity will be restored.
Skin to skin,
We are one.
