"We have generally been trained to use our words as if they WERE the things they name, as if they contained the reality of the things at which they can only point. When we use language in this way, our words take what we initially "see" and freeze what is not frozen, what in reality is fluid. They lable, box, catergorize life. Our words then separate us from the world, from each other, from ourselves."
G. Lynn Nelson from "Writing and Being"
