OverviewHave you ever considered what a word actually is? What would happen if you didn't take words as seriously? What if you realized they aren't suitable for the heaviness they so often convey? What if you began to view words as mere tools, highly limited, highly misunderstood, and frequently misused? I was lost in words until I discovered they are not the truth tellers I took them to be. The stream of words passing through my mind caused stress and constriction that almost constantly lurked beneath my happy self. Though I was hardly aware of it, this underground torment generated negativity for me and those around me through judgment, criticism, and all kinds of comparison. I'm less lost, and less tense, now that I see words as only shorthand tags. In the process of forming any single word, most of reality is left out. Words exclude in order to become shortcuts for naming. They are only arrows that point toward reality but don't represent it. Once I realized this, I began to more naturally experience life directly rather than through the filtering of word-tools. Experiencing reality firsthand, and directly, brings a joy of living and gratitude for life that I never imagined before I opened up to it. I wish the same for you as you step toward uncovering the wholeness of reality that lies beneath and beyond our words.
