words...

If words are often misunderstood, den why do people still depend on them?
It is because words give form. Words give form to shifting feelings…and a reality that is hard to grasp.
By combining those forms in many different ways, it brings together memories.

If people had never been acquainted with words… we may not have been able to think the way we do now. However, people become so caught up with the power of words, that they give meaning to the actual words themselves.
It is like allowing a shadow to become an object in itself. Giving it its own unique form that is artificial... Like giving life to shadows that only reflects the existence of the object that forms it, and initially have no substance.

They have forgotten the now..., and everything that does not speak those words. The whispers that does not express themselves in words… like the smell of rain that tingles our skin, that elusive feeling upon wakening from a dream, and the nature wind you cannot even see… They are forgotten.

Even among the people who speak the same words, their feelings are scattered all over the place. But that can’t be helped. The purpose of words is to categorize. When I call out to your name, or when you call me, these words actually separate us by a greater distance. How much of me are you calling by my name? By defining the me you know by my name, you leave out the rest of me from this area called, my name.
By calling something by a word, we actually limit our understanding of the true nature of the object. The nature of the word encloses the object within a boundary. As a result, the word does not, and can never, represent the entirety of the object… Like a photo with limits that fails to capture the rest of the scenery beyond its sides…

But still…
