English language, is being wide spread throughout the corners of the earth.. universal way of providing a common language once again, perhaps to draw us all closer together in understanding... Who knows, perhaps we will no longer need language, and will revert back to the simplicity of just knowing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2001 Report Share Posted June 12, 2001 Language is to be used as efficiently, professionally and carefully as the tools and materials used by a master carpenter and crew. When a carpenter uses a hammer and nails to do a framing job, great care is taken to use the right size of nails, the right weight of hammer. Nails are carefully positioned in the right spots, with appropriate angles depending on where the nails are to be hammered and what they need to hold together. Hi Wim :::waving::: What a beautiful and apt metaphor. You and Dharma have so eloquently stated exactly what was in my mind when I wrote about this (I am wondering where my post has ended up, perhaps in a later email...I seem to still be a bit behind the group). It is nice to read what you have to say once again. Shanti ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
