just a note about language: being responsible and accountable for the words we use is so important.
in a speech robert bly gave recently, he talked about this, saying: "James Hillman agrees that using language accurately is really important, otherwise the ideas get ruined for the next generation. Just like the generation above you did not use political language well, it ruined it for you."
we know this is true. so let's be mindful of our words. language is comprised of such a limited set of signs as it is, that cannot possibly account for every idea and thought we have. choose wisely, intelligently, and with heart.
