I love it Chris…You always slow me down (against my passionate protestations). If we could only live what we know.

Am I hurrying to write this comment.
Less than usual.

And what about those weird souls who move a pen across the paper so slowly that letters
and words appear, as if through a smudge darkly…..legible, legible at last.

I’m not sure where that extra ‘our’ came from in the first paragraph. So much for my ability to articulate.

I love this, Dick. You are not about to our sacrifice words on the altar of experience.

I agree with you that the heavens declare the glory of God, but would I have come to that conclusion on my own, without having that recognition shaped by those very words? With the imagination I have, that’s a bet I’d rather not take.

There is a line of thinking in the study of communication that posits that we can’t even experience what we don’t have vocabulary for. I don’t go for that. I believe that there are myriads of experiences that trump words. But when trying to comprehend these experiences, and trying to share them with other, words are the most relatable symbols we have.

I’m supremely grateful for my capacity to be astonished, my capacity to articulate it, and the fact that I don’t have to choose between the two. Your post has made me more so.
