Words express thought. They shape it. Solidify it. Define it's categories. And allow it to become a communicable and empathized experience between us. But words also presuppose reference to conceptualized meanings. Meanings which in turn are only expressible to ourselves and to others thru other pre-worded definitions and descriptions. And so round and round we go. Language structuring thinking. And thinking in turn using language to manifest itself into convictions, facts, questions, speculations, observations, and novel insights. A dynamic reciprocation between word and idea, proposition and logic, description and quale--a mysterious alchemy swirling itself forth into ever new and originary forms of creative realization. Can either really exist without the other?
