“What are words for, when no one listens anymore?”
Missing Persons

Word are the very heart of my thinking. They structure and organize my thoughts. They form the fundamental basis of language. And without language, without words, what are we? I’m sure it might be possible to conceive of a way of communicating and expressing without words. But we, as humans, need our words. I may express something with how I order my face or how I move my body, but I can only understand such expressions via words. My thinking is mediated entirely by language. Those voices in my head aren’t insanity, but my thoughts being thought, speaking to me in the silent language I hear only in my mind. And it’s a conversation of words.
