"...sometimes words are used because you think they will bolster your truth, make it more true, as though words are wands and create. Sometimes you hope that your words will become true, that words of love, for example, will manifest love.

Rely less on words. Rely more on truth. Words are empty without truth behind them, and words, even backed by truth, are empty next to the fullness they represent.

The most gorgeous representation of the sun is but a representation of the sun. The greatest painting of the sun may recreate a great sun, but it captures only elements, only aspects, some consciousness of the sun. But no matter how great the painting, it is not the sun.

And so it is with words. They can do a lot. They encompass the world. They can weave through the universe. But they are not the universe."

But you never can understand it, because you can only understand the words: without words, you don't know anything and you're not, you know not even to exist. It'is precisely for this reason that you need these words,quote these words, pamper these words, banquets with these words; you need even to speak of "silence"!
Everything you are and you have, are words; everything that you will not be and that you no longer have, at the time of death, it will be just words.

"When you have an experience, you have it whether you understand it or not. You like to identify your experiences and label them in a place. That feels good to you. And you use words to identify your experiences. Perhaps all the things that matter are wordless."

"Man cannot live by words alone"...

but he "lives",

and now you are back to prove it, but never to yourself, because "yourself" is only another word.
