Communication extends beyond the spoken word. Our bodies speak the truth that our mouths forbid. We can express our innermost contemplations through a simple gesture. The way we move, fidget, relax, touch and reach provide a greater voice than we give to our words. But clenched fists or clasped hands are not linked exclusively to one meaning. Our body language creates boundless communication, with hand movements acting as key markers of private sentiment.
