Praise for Without Utterance

There are stories and then there are stories. Through fresh insight and great persistence Ruth Resch found the place in herself where a deep, sensual vision became the practice to a personal and Universal Way of knowing. This is a crucial modern story which reflects very, very old wisdom.  This is a great story.
—Gioia Timpanelli, Storyteller and Author

It’s tender, it’s a gripping mystery novel, it’s visceral, it’s heartbreaking.
—Leigh Kimball
experimental and documentary filmmaker

There is probably nothing more inspiring than to witness a person transforming what appears to be a curse and turning it into a blessing. Does the blessing need the curse to exist?  Might the blessing actually live in the curse?   Dr. Resch takes us deep into the terrifying wilderness of a major health challenge.  Her challenge becomes our challenge.   It is not a magical story; it is a mystical journey towards healing.  It is a story that can change each of our lives.
— Rabbi Marc Sirinsky

I loved being reminded reading Without Utterance how precious life is, and how every moment and every experience is something sensed through the magic of the body. In the silence, in the stillness, is where the wisdom of the body speaks and emerges beyond the spoken word and beyond logic.”
— Debbie Rosas
Co-creator and founder of the Nia Technique

I’ll be buying your book tomorrow! I hope you will consider coming to Texas. We’d love to host you for a special event both at NiaMoves Studio (Houston) and Soma Ranch (Montgomery).

  3. Ruth Resch had to suffer a cerebrovascular accident to uncover an incredible reservoir of talent heretofore hidden. Because of her indomitable spirit and perseverance, she entered a dimension which released her imagination as never before.
    When I first saw her sketches and her remarkable paintings, I could not believe that she had not spent years perfecting her technique. The work is that of a professional with a soaring entree into an invisible world of abstraction. She
    expresses every nuance of her confusion, pain, isolation and emergence with powerful strokes of her brush and with a breathtaking palette. She enters a world of fascinating images conjured by her insight, vision and neurology. What
    Resch demonstrates most remarkably is how very little we know about the brain, and how remiss we are in fathoming the reaches of human potential.
