words, poetry, slow morning thoughts
words....
give me this shovel,
let us dig.
would you like a cucumber
or tomatoes?
this is what words do,
point to food, tools, needs.
the origin of communication
going from pointing to language.
nobody can eat the word cucumber
though the word may cause him/her salivating,
anticipating the taste of reality.
so this is what poetry can do,
to make you taste reality
and approach it another way.
to re-approach being with reality,
inside. and outside.
to lose orientation and meaning
and re-create it again your own way.
poetry stands between word and reality
in the flow of imagination, the writer's
and the reader's.

poems and words
not all poems are words.
my poems should also please not be called art.
the poems which i still find present in me
the day after writing are not words.
some end with words or begin with words
and may only uncover dirt, aggression, tristesse
or a certain clumsiness of mine in being alive.
the others are parts of me given from me in my transience,
poems frail like autumn leaves through which the sun shines,
with holes and spaces,
true parts of me as a real being, human and man,
soul and skin and blood and spirit,
coming out in flow with an effort to capture the essence
i experience in my very own life, as it can be present
and expressed parts of my consciousness.

words can be boring
language ..more associations...
in direct face-to-face communication:
1) we use words and sound and silence
2) we use intonation and rhythm and melody
3) we use physical language, gestures, facial expression, posture, movement, touch
etc
what can words do
4) they name the world and ourselves within a context
which is deeply saturated with our history and our stories
5) they can hide a truth, they do so very easily
6) they can hint at a truth
7) they always create their own truth
8) they can be a means of partial communication
9) they do not come alone, they come with us,
with our experience, our ideas, our wishes,
our disagreements, they come with all the
complicated and boring and terrible obstacles of
social life circumstances, they come with e-motion
enveloped in words
10) they can be a means of domination
11) they can be funny
12) they can cause a war , but this should
not be overestimated, it is not beliefs, words
or ideas which cause wars, it is powerful people
and their egoistic interest
13) they can cause a revolution, but only when they come at the right
time, again, it is the people who want a change
etc
can written language be analyzed the same way
as in a living face-to-face communication:
14) no
15) written language has to be analyzed within its context
16) we must first analyze the written context for origin, intention
and authenticity
17) face-to-face the context is in front of us
18) face-to-face we need to analyze the intentions of the other one
as our context , and this one is not written in words but in the
experience of behaviour
etc
can we lose words?
19) yes.
20) we should lose loads of words,
but the request here is for losing
loads of ideas, violent opinions
and sight-damaging spectacles
etc
and now i am fed up with words,
21) words can be boring
time for music...

and more is not to say
John 1
1 In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
"in
principio erat Verbum et Verbum erat apud Deum et Deus erat Verbum"
The word in the translated
text was logos which does not mean "word".
We do not know about
the beginning and certainly not about a word creating our universe and us.
Modestly we may see all this as an emanation of what we may call God or not. It,
all, God, is beyond the grasp of
thoughts and thankfully beyond the significance of words.
We cannot go beyond
experience and sensation of presence in
our understanding.
As cutting as words
may be as a tool of communication they lack the essence of truth, and analyzing
words makes us stumble between shadows and walk in circles without awareness of
the flow of life.
I am afraid of
words, more and more, afraid of my own words.
From early childhood
words define our perception of this life, this world, each other.
We learn to call a
rose a rose and learn to be stupidly satisfied by recognizing a rose as a rose.
We do not SEE it anymore as before when we still didn't know to say rose.
I have to learn a
new language without words.
and more is not to say
