[MD] static words, dynamic results

[John Carl]

Good words, on why we're here:


"The written word is just a a mummy whose wrappings must be removed
someday--not to disover a few bones, but to breathe lfe into it again.


Only the word conveys the truth of a message.  What the written word needs
is not to be considered the source of a mere code, law or formula, or of an
indefinitely repeated prayer.  It must be taken at its source and given
rebirth, not by repetition, but by an inspiration that reopens it.


Written language has closed the mind.  Like a fist grasping a diamond, it
has closed its grammatical and structural trap over a vanishing whisper that
it tries to translate through enclosing and containment.  But insead,
writing snuffs it out, and we must open the straijacket of writing so that
it  becomse a freshly spoken word.  That way the whisper can be perceievd
and received again.  The the word can start the listener off anew in his
quest of truth."
