This is such a great capture of language today. I appreciate the thoughts and insights. I am a visual artist and I am always aware of the impact and power the words and message of artwork plays as much as the form itself. We are creatures that differ from all other species because of this precise aspect of language. It creates a diverse spectrum of poetic and abstract expression that can build and destroy without affecting anything in the material sense. I know and believe that we have the opportunity in this era to create bridges through language and empathy. To all those out there I send my gratitude and may you speak from beauty and from the heart.
super potent and (ironically) concise
i think you illustrate beautifully Tiina that the requirement to compress ideas causes us to lose too much of them
to add on: that the requirement to compress ideas also causes most of us not to express ideas at all

Very cool post Tiina- your sentences flow like butter, it’s been a while since I’ve indulged (and been challenged by) good writing.
I discovered Sane via Anne-Laure, I admire your work.
Also, Davey, I appreciated your view on the piece and additional thinking
