the turned paths of their penstrokes

Maybe the Old Faiths are right. Maybe it’s all created with words.
Maya, samsara – nothing but Logos.

Could The Fall be just words?

Reblogged this on Teacher as Transformer and commented:
Words do not mean the same thing to each person. We often use words interchangeably as if they are synonymous with each other. An example is school and education. Education is a process of leading children and eventually letting go. School is a place. It comes from an Italian word having to do with leisure. It is hard to find our way through the labyrinth and convey the meanings we want in our communication. Sometimes it is the unspoken, the body-language, and the tone which help immensely.

Then you should probably write your letters further apart so people don’t get trapped in there.
