And what blood would there be spinning through the 60,000 miles of vessels of our whole hearts if not that which is brought to life from deep within our bones? This is not a book about the skeleton. 'Skeletos' means 'dried.' The dry bones are quite removed from the experience of bones and bodies. A skeleton, over there, is a rattling thing, an abstraction apart from us. If that is the mirror we look into to enter into relationship with our bones, that relationship will be deeply short-changed. Lauterstein and Rockwell invite us into relationship not with something dead and over there. The relationship to which they call us is with our own life within us, pulsing, watery, green, resilient, musical, and true." —Gil Hedley, from the forward to The Memory Palace of Bones: Exploring Embodiment through the Skeletal System
