The Verbal Life

[Guest guest]

Some people lead verbal lives.

Most of their time is taken by words,

they talk, they read, and they write for most

of the day. When they are not conversing

face to face, they are on the cell phone, or

at the P.C.

 

When alone, and not talking, reading or

writing, they read the mental scroll which

unfolds words on their mental screen. They

don't feel alive unless their lives is being

translated and narrated in words.

 

And so the profundity and mystery of things

escape them, and they live hungry lives, yet

ever chewing on empty words.
