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. |
