I used to think words mattered.
Like, really mattered.
I clung to every phrase like it was holy scripture.

I saved workshop descriptions from 20 years ago, copied lines from newsletters that ���landed,��� website headers, and bits of poetic language that seemed to capture some essence I didn���t want to lose. I reread them all religiously every time I needed to write something new���believing, somewh

“Our cultural notion of smart often has to do with one’s proficiency with language. When we can confidently put forth a clear, logical argument about something, we’re much more likely to be viewed as smart. But as we saw with David Lynch, we can’t always say all that we know.”
Kim Hermanson, Deep Knowing: Entering the Realm of Non-Ordinary Intelligence

“Our cultural notion of smart often has to do with one’s proficiency with
language. When we can confidently put forth a clear, logical argument about
something, we’re much more likely to be viewed as smart. But as we saw
with David Lynch, we can’t always say all that we know.”
Kim Hermanson, Deep Knowing: Entering the Realm of Non-Ordinary Intelligence

“Deep knowing is not cognitive. In the intelligent field, there is genuinely
nothing to say.
But everything to feel and know.”
Kim Hermanson, Deep Knowing: Entering the Realm of Non-Ordinary Intelligence

“Art breaks open a dimension inaccessible to other experience, a dimension in which human beings, nature, and things no longer stand under the law of the established reality principle...The encounter with the truth of art happens in the estranging language and images which make perceptible, visible, and audible that which is no longer, or not yet, perceived, said, and heard in everyday life.”
Herbert Marcuse
