Your Body Is Speaking
There is a particular form of physical existence in which the will races far ahead and the body cannot follow. An arm that cannot extend the way the impulse demands. A leg that takes a different path than the one the thoughts have mapped out. A tongue that reaches for a word and cannot arrive in time. Cerebral palsy — medically an early injury in the brain that alters the control of muscles — means for the person affected, in many cases, precisely this: the inner person is completely present, but the bridge between will and movement does not carry what it is meant to carry.
