babbling emotions

Seven centuries ago, the Persian poet and philosopher Rumi extolled “the eye of the heart” as seventy-fold more seeing than the “sensible eyes” of the intellect. 

Growing up, language has been this tool that emits might and power – expanding reality but also limiting and contracting what is perceived and manifested. 

Tower of Babel

The limits of language and my deepening relationship with it often feel frustratingly fragile and futile.
