Heresy

[Page]

Some can be articulated, others are beyond words.

I have long wished I had audio tapes of acid raps. It is certain that many 
conversations that seemed profound at the time were anything but. Funny 
beyond words. More to the point, some experiences that cannot be put into 
words are no less insightful or profound. It is impossible to translate 
one's experience of looking at a Rothko into English. For one thing, the 
Rothko has no verbs.


It would be difficult to provide an example of insights that can be put into 
words. It would require too much scene setting, and some lengthy and boring 
autobiography.
