Words make worlds.*
Krista Tippett

Without a name made in our mouths, and animal or place struggles to find purchase in our minds and in our hearts.**
Tim Dee

Not only do we require a vast ocean of words to
understand the world around us, but
we also need a multiplicity of words
to describe ourselves, to
create our worlds of
who we are and what
we can do – and they’re not
far away, they’re within us
waiting to be uncovered.^

^These words don’t only have to describe us, but also be the words that fascinate us and drive us; I have to keep twenty six lists of words (a-z) that are important to me, with all the quotes that describe them). It’s a simple system, but it’s working for now..
