Vision
Honor the word, honor the imagination.
Words and sound have shape. So does text.
Text comes from the Latin textus
which is also the root for textile. The Iranian women who make Persian rugs
sing as they weave, each rug has its own song and each is literally sung into
existence. The weft and warp of the weave echo the notes and meanings of
the song, working together to create a unique object world renowned for its
artistry and craftsmanship. What speaker does not desire the same?
Resonance and articulation weave words, words weave denotation and connotation
into meaning, and speaker and listener weave the experience between them into
experiences that create worlds. A word does not unfold slowly in the mind,
it suddenly is, and when it is, it carries with it a packet of information
that is complete. Words are whole and contain transformative magic. They
can change the minds and animate the bodies of speaker and listener alike.
Words bridge divides and transcend time.
